(Syn. : AgTx-2, Potassium channel toxin alpha-KTx 3.2)
Product ID |
L8232-100UG |
Name |
AGITOXIN-2 |
Molecular formula |
C169H278N54O48S8 |
Description |
A 38 amino-acids peptide with 3 disulfide bridges
, synthetic, initially isolated from the venom of the Palestine yellow scorpion Leiurus quinquestriatus hebraeus.
|
Biological activity |
A potent inhibitor of the Shaker potassium channels and its mammalian homologs (Kv1.1/KCNA1, Kv1.3/KCNA3, Kv1.6/KCNA6) (Ki<1 nM for all channels). AgTx also blocks Kv1.2/KCNA2 (IC50=26.8 nM). It shows weak blocking activity on KCa3.1/KCNN4 (IC50=1152 nM). |
