Crystal structure of a toxin chimera between Lqh-alpha-IT from the scorpion Leiurus quinquestriatus hebraeus and AAH2 from Androctonus australis hector

Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 15133045

Function

[SCX2_ANDAU] Alpha toxins bind voltage-independently at site-3 of sodium channels (Nav) and inhibit the inactivation of the activated channels, thereby blocking neuronal transmission. This toxin is active against mammals.

About this Structure

1seg is a 1 chain structure with sequence from Androctonus australis hector. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA.
