Antigenic polymorphism of the "short" scorpion toxins able to block K+ channels.

Toxicon : official journal of the International Society on Toxinology - 15 Mar 2004

Vacher Hélène, Martin-Eauclaire Marie-France

Abstract excerpt

BmTX3 is a toxin recently characterised from the venom of the Chinese scorpion Buthus martensi Karch, which specifically blocks a transient A-type K+ current in striatum neurons in culture and binds to rat brain synaptosomes with high affinity. With Aa1 and AmmTX3, it belongs to the new alpha-KTx...
