| UniProt functional annotation for Q7YZS9 | |||
| UniProt code: Q7YZS9. |
| Organism: | Conus virgo (Virgin cone). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Spiralia; Lophotrochozoa; Mollusca; Gastropoda; Caenogastropoda; Neogastropoda; Conoidea; Conidae; Conus; Virgiconus. | |
| Function: | Kappa-conotoxins bind and inhibit voltage-gated potassium channels. This toxin inhibits the mammalian potassium channels Kv1.1/KCNA1 and Kv1.3/KCNA3. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12893060}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Secreted {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12893060}. | |
| Tissue specificity: | Expressed by the venom duct. {ECO:0000305|PubMed:12893060}. | |
| Domain: | The cysteine framework is XI (C-C-CC-CC-C-C). {ECO:0000305}. | |
| Ptm: | Contains 4 disulfide bonds. Here are reported disulfide bonds proposed in [PubMed:16268797], even if the connectivity known for the framework XI is I-IV, II-VI, III-VII, V-VIII. | |
| Mass spectrometry: | Mass=3933.3; Method=Electrospray; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:12893060}; | |
| Miscellaneous: | This toxin has no effects on Kv1.2/KCNA2, Kv11/KCNH, and Kir2.1/KCNJ2 potassium channels, and on Nav1.5/SCN5A sodium channels. {ECO:0000305|PubMed:12893060}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the conotoxin I2 superfamily. {ECO:0000305}. | |
