Neurotoxin
FUNCTION: Blocks human Kv11.1/KCNH2/ERG1 potassium channels (reversible, IC(50)=3.4 nM) (PubMed:34201318). At high toxin concentrations, block of Kv11.1/KCNH2/ERG1 macroscopic current is almost complete (PubMed:34201318). Does not accelerate the kinetics of the closing process and has no effect on the activation and inactivation kinetics of the Kv11.1/KCNH2/ERG1 channels (PubMed:34201318). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:34201318}.
