FUNCTION: Inhibits voltage-gated potassium channels (IC(50)=405.0 nM for rKCNA1/Kv1.1, IC(50)=0.03 nM for rKCNA2/Kv1.2, IC(50)=1.31 nM for rKCNA6/Kv1.6, IC(50)=74.11 nM for hKCNA3/Kv1.3, and IC(50)=247.69 nM for insect Shaker IR). Binds the Shaker IR channels in a voltage-independent manner. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23466933}.
