Potent selective inhibitor of high conductance (maxi-K), different medium and small conductance calcium-activated potassium channels (KCa1.1/KCNMA1 and others), as well as a voltage-dependent potassium channel (Kv1.3/KCNA3>Kv1.2/KCNA2>Kv1.6/KCNA3>>Shaker/Sh). It blocks channel activity by a simple bimolecular inhibition process. Has a pH-specific antimicrobial activity against bacteria (B.subtilis, E.coli and S.aureus) and the fungus C.albicans. Expressed by the venom gland. Has the structural arrangement of an alpha-helix connected to a beta-sheet by disulfide bonds (CSalpha/beta). Belongs to the short scorpion toxin superfamily. Potassium channel inhibitor family. Alpha-KTx 01 subfamily.
