| UniProt functional annotation for Q9NBG9 | |||
| UniProt code: Q9NBG9. |
| Organism: | Mesobuthus martensii (Manchurian scorpion) (Buthus martensii). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Ecdysozoa; Arthropoda; Chelicerata; Arachnida; Scorpiones; Buthida; Buthoidea; Buthidae; Mesobuthus. | |
| Function: | Alpha-KTx 16.2: inhibits large conductance calcium-activated potassium channels (KCa1.1/Slo-beta4 KCNMA1/KCNMB4). It appears to block channel activity by a simple bimolecular inhibition process. Shows a fast association rate and a slow dissociation rate of binding on rat brain synaptosome (PubMed:18199674). Significantly inhibits voltage-dependent sodium current and voltage-dependent delayed rectifier potassium currents (PubMed:14632928). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14632928, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18199674}. | |
| Function: | [Martentoxin-1]: significantly inhibits voltage-dependent sodium current (Nav) and voltage-dependent delayed rectifier potassium current. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14632928}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Secreted. | |
| Tissue specificity: | Expressed by the venom gland. | |
| Domain: | Has the structural arrangement of an alpha-helix connected to a beta-sheet by disulfide bonds (CSalpha/beta). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15558557}. | |
| Mass spectrometry: | [Potassium channel toxin alpha-KTx 16.2]: Mass=4060; Method=Electrospray; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:12558995}; | |
| Mass spectrometry: | [Potassium channel toxin alpha-KTx 16.2]: Mass=4056.3; Method=MALDI; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:14632928}; | |
| Mass spectrometry: | [Martentoxin-b]: Mass=3852.89; Method=Electrospray; Note=Monoisotopic mass.; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:22887697}; | |
| Mass spectrometry: | [Martentoxin-1]: Mass=3908.0; Method=MALDI; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:14632928}; | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the short scorpion toxin superfamily. Potassium channel inhibitor family. Alpha-KTx 16 subfamily. {ECO:0000305}. | |
