RT   elegans selectively blockade Kv1.3 over IKCa1 K+ channels of T cells.";
RL   Toxicon 46:418-429(2005).
CC   -!- FUNCTION: Blocks Kv1.3/KCNA3 voltage-gated potassium channels of human
CC       T-lymphocytes (Kd=0.71 nM). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16026809}.
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16026809}.
CC   -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed by the venom gland.
CC       {ECO:0000305|PubMed:16026809}.
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:P08815}.
CC   -!- MASS SPECTROMETRY: Mass=4255; Method=Electrospray;
CC       Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:16026809};
CC   -!- MISCELLANEOUS: Does not inhibit calcium-activated potassium channels
CC       (KCa3.1/KCNN4) of human T-lymphocytes. Does not inhibit voltage-gated
CC       Shaker potassium channels. Does not inhibit rKv2.1/KCNB1 potassium
CC       channels. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16026809}.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the short scorpion toxin superfamily. Potassium
CC       channel inhibitor family. Alpha-KTx 02 subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
