FUNCTION: [Potassium channel toxin kappa-KTx 1.1]: Shows weak blocking activity on voltage-gated potassium channels Kv10.1/KCNH1/EAG1 (IC(50)=26 uM), Kv1.2/KCNA2 (Kd=150 uM), Kv1.3/KCNA3 (Kd=40 uM), Kv1.6/KCNA3 (16.6% inhibition at 40 uM toxin) (PubMed:12034709, PubMed:23726856, PubMed:27578329). The block is dose-dependent, voltage-independent, and reversible (PubMed:12034709). Also shows a weak inhibitory activity on the plant pathogen F.culmorum growth (IC(50)=18.8-37.7 uM) (PubMed:27578329). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12034709, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23726856, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27578329}.
