OX NCBI_TaxID=34648; RN [1] RP NUCLEOTIDE SEQUENCE [MRNA], SYNTHESIS OF 23-46, FUNCTION OF MEUCIN-24, RP AND STRUCTURE BY NMR OF 23-46. RC TISSUE=Venom gland; RX PubMed=20097251; DOI=10.1016/j.biochi.2010.01.011; RA Gao B., Xu J., Del Carmen Rodriguez M., Lanz-Mendoza H., RA Hernandez-Rivas R., Du W., Zhu S.; RT "Characterization of two linear cationic antimalarial peptides in the RT scorpion Mesobuthus eupeus."; RL Biochimie 92:350-359(2010). CC -!- FUNCTION: MeuTXKbeta3 inhibits voltage-gated potassium channels CC (By similarity). CC -!- FUNCTION: The synthetic meucin-24 inhibits the development of P. CC berghei ookinetes, kills intraerythrocytic P.falciparum, and is CC cytotoxic to the Drosophila S2 cell at micromolar concentrations. CC No antibacterial, antifungal and hemolytic activities have been CC found at micromolar concentrations. CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted (By similarity). CC -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed by the venom gland. CC -!- MISCELLANEOUS: The RNA coding for this protein is silently edited. CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the long chain scorpion toxin family. Class CC 2 subfamily. CC -!- CAUTION: It is uncertain whether Met-1 or Met-2 is the initiator.
