Kurtoxin

UniProtKB accession:  P58910

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  This neurotoxin acts on sodium and calcium channels (PubMed:10196582, PubMed:11896142). It acts on Nav1.2/SCN2A and Nav1.5/SCN5A sodium channels and slows their inactivation (By similarity) (PubMed:11896142). Also binds to Cav3.1/CACNA1G, Cav3.2/CACNA1H and Cav3.3/CACNA1I T-type calcium channels with high affinity and inhibits the channels by modifying voltage-dependent gating (By similarity) (PubMed:10196582). Also targets neuronal high-threshold calcium channels, including P-type, N-type, and L-type calcium channels (Cav), and others that still are unidentified pharmacologically (PubMed:11896142).
