Activity
Activity
Neurotoxin
FUNCTION: Inhibits voltage-gated potassium channels of the subtype Kv4.1/KCND1 with high affinity and shows weak effects on Kv4.2/KCND2 and Kv2.1/KCNB1 subtypes. The toxin modifies the gating behavior of the channel and may interact with the S3-S4 extracellular loop. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17631373, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18581053}.
