Biol. Chem. 290:12195-12209(2015). CC -!- FUNCTION: Voltage-gated potassium channel antagonist. Has a high CC potency on Kv1.3/KCNA3, and is moderately active on Kv1.1/KCNA1 CC (35% peak current inhibition at 3 uM of toxin) and on Shaker IR CC potassium channels (70% peak current inhibition at 3 uM of toxin). CC {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20889474, ECO:0000269|Ref.4}. CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20889474}. CC -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed by the venom gland. CC {ECO:0000305|PubMed:20889474}. CC -!- DOMAIN: Has the structural arrangement of an alpha-helix connected CC to a beta-sheet by disulfide bonds (CSalpha/beta). CC {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9U8D2}. CC -!- MASS SPECTROMETRY: Mass=3251; Method=MALDI; Range=1-57; CC Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:20889474, ECO:0000269|Ref.4}; CC -!- MISCELLANEOUS: Does not inhibit rKv1.1/KCNA1, rKv1.2/KCNA2, CC rKv1.4/KCNA4, rKv1.5/KCNA5, rKv1.6/KCNA6, hKv11.1/KCNH2 (when CC tested at 3 uM). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20889474}. CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the short scorpion toxin superfamily. CC Potassium channel inhibitor family. Alpha-KTx 08 subfamily. CC {ECO:0000255}.
