Descripción general
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.
Aplicación
Kurtoxin has been used as a blocker of T-type and R-Type voltage-gated calcium channels (VGGCs) in hippocampal neurons.
Acciones bioquímicas o fisiológicas
Kurtoxin is isolated from the venom of the South African scorpion Parabuthus transvaalicus. It associates with voltage-gated sodium channels and delays their inactivation.

Studies of Ca channels expressed in oocytes have identified kurtoxin as a promising tool for functional and structural studies of low-threshold T-type Ca channels. This peptide, isolated from the venomous scorpion Parabuthus transvaalicus, inhibits low-threshold alpha1G and alpha1H Ca channels

The biophysical properties of T-type voltage-gated calcium channels are well suited to pacemaking and to supporting calcium flux near the resting membrane potential in both excitable and non-excitable cells. We have identified a new scorpion toxin (kurtoxin) that binds to

Blockage of GABA-A receptors in hippocampal neuronal cultures triggers synchronous bursts of spikes initiating neuronal plasticity, partly mediated by changes of gene expression. By using specific pharmacological blockers, we have investigated which sources of Ca2+ entry primarily control changes of

Kurtoxin is a 63-amino acid polypeptide isolated from the venom of the South African scorpion Parabuthus transvaalicus. It is the first and only peptide ligand known to interact with Cav3 (T-type) voltage-gated Ca(2+) channels with high affinity and to modify

Kurtoxin, a 63-amino acid peptide stabilized by four disulfide bonds, is the first reported peptide inhibitor of T-type voltage-gated calcium channels. Although T-type calcium channels have been implicated in a number of disease states, including epilepsy, chronic pain, hypertension and
