KALIOTOXIN
Product ID L8208-100UG 
Name KALIOTOXIN 
Molecular formula C171H283N55O49S8
Description

It is a blocker of Ca2+-activated K+ channels of high conductance and some voltage-dependent K+ channels.
In human and murin beta-lymphocytes, where both K+ channels subtypes are present, Kaliotoxin is a selective voltage-dependent K+ channels blocker.


38-amino acid peptide with 3 disulfide bridges. , synthetic, originally from Androctonus mauretanicus mauretanicus scorpion venom.
Biological activity

In neurons: KTX blocks the invertebrate and mammalian sympathetic high conductance K+ channels with a Kd of 2 to 4 nM. These effects were observed on the whole-cell current as well as on the unitary channel activity.
KTX inhibits the shaker K+ current resulting from mRNA expression in Xenopus oocyte with a Kd of 2 to 5 nM.
The radiolabelled derivative 125I KTX binds to the rat brain synaptosomal membrane (Kd = 10 pM) and it is displaced by Dendrotoxin with a Kd of 8 pM.

In muscle: KTX is poorly active on skeletal high conductance K+ channels incorporated in lipid bilayers.

In lymphocytes: in human and murin b-lymphocytes, where both Ca2+-activated K+ channels and voltage-dependent K+ channels are present, KTX selectively inhibits the activity of the voltage-dependent K+ channels with a Kd of 1 to 5 nM.
