| UniProt functional annotation for P68425 | |||
| UniProt code: P68425. |
| Organism: | Cyriopagopus schmidti (Chinese bird spider) (Haplopelma schmidti). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Ecdysozoa; Arthropoda; Chelicerata; Arachnida; Araneae; Mygalomorphae; Theraphosidae; Haplopelma. | |
| Function: | Dual-function toxin that inhibits both serine proteases (trypsin) and voltage-gated potassium channels (Kv). The toxin is more active on Kv1.1/KCNA1 (78% inhibition), than on Kv1.2/KCNA2 (10% inhibition), and Kv1.3/KCNA3 (28% inhibition), although a high dose (5 uM) is needed. The inhibition of potassium channels is voltage- dependent. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15066414, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16820861}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Secreted. | |
| Tissue specificity: | Expressed by the venom gland. | |
| Mass spectrometry: | Mass=6166.23; Method=MALDI; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:15066414}; | |
| Toxic dose: | LD(50) is 256 +/- 23 ug/kg by injection into the fourth ventricle of the adult mouse brain. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15066414}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the venom Kunitz-type family. 02 (native) subfamily. {ECO:0000305}. | |
