| Amino Acid Sequence: | Lys-Ile-Asp-Gly-Tyr-Pro-V |
| Application: | Kurtoxin has been used as a blocker of T-type and R-Type voltage-gated calcium channels (VGGCs) in hippocampal neurons. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Kurtoxin is isolated from the venom of the South African scorpion Parabuthus transvaalicus. It associates with voltage-gated sodium channels and delays their inactivation. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | T-type Ca2+ channel blocker; Scorpion toxin |
| General description: | Kurtoxin is hydrophobic in nature and shares sequence identity with α-scorpion and has cysteine-stabilized α-helix and β-sheet (CSαβ) motif. It interacts with N-type, and P-type calcium (Ca2+) channels as well. |
