CC -!- FUNCTION: Inhibits potassium channels. May be active towards small
CC conductance calcium-activated potassium channels (KCNN, SK), and less
CC active towards voltage-gated potassium channels (Kv/KCN).
CC {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q95NK7}.
CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q95NK7}.
CC -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed by the venom gland. {ECO:0000305}.
CC -!- DOMAIN: Has the structural arrangement of an alpha-helix connected to a
CC beta-sheet by disulfide bonds (CSalpha/beta).
CC {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q95NK7}.
CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the short scorpion toxin superfamily. Potassium
CC channel inhibitor family. Alpha-KTx 14 subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
