Biochem/physiol Actions
Maurotoxin is a 34 amino acid recombinant toxin, originally isolated from the venom of the scorpion Scorpio Maurus palmatus; a member of the α-KTx6.2 scorpion toxin family. It blocks voltage-gated potassium channels (KV1.1/KCNA1, KV1.2/KCNA2, and KV1.3/KCNA3) and inhibits apamin-sensitive small conductance calcium-activated channels (SK channels), particularly KCa3.1(IKca1, SK4).
Scorpion toxin that blocks voltage-gated potassium channels KV1.1, KV1.2, and KV1.3, and inhibits SK channels, particularly KCa3.1(IKca1, SK4).
