KALIOTOXIN (1-37)
Product ID L8209-100UG 
Name KALIOTOXIN (1-37) 
Molecular formula
Description

It is a blocker of Ca2+-activated K+ channels of high conductance and some voltage-dependent K+ channels.
In human and murin β-lymphocytes, where both K+ channels subtypes are present, Kaliotoxin (1-37) is a selective voltage-dependent K+ channels blocker.


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

Kaliotoxin (1-37) presents the same biological activity as Kaliotoxin (KTX).
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.
Muscle: KTX is poorly active on skeletal high conductance K+ channels incorporated in lipid bilayers.
Lymphocytes: In human and murin β-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.
