Function

[KAX62_SCOMA] Blocks voltage-gated potassium channels (Shaker B, and Kv1.2/KCNA2 (IC(50)=0.8 nM)) and is also active on Kv1.1/KCNA1 (IC(50)=45 nM) Kv1.3/KCNA3 (IC(50)=180 nM). Also inhibits apamin-sensitive small conductance calcium-activated potassium (SK/KCNN) channels, and inhibits intermediate conductance calcium-activated potassium (KCa3.1/KCNN4) channels.^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]}
