Application

Agitoxin-1 is a potent blocker of the Shakervoltage-gated K+ channels. Agitoxin has also been used to improve multi-dimensional NMR of proteins.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Toxin found in the venom of the scorpion Leiurus quinquestriatus hebraeus. Potent blocker of the Shaker voltage-gated K+ channels as well as the mammalian homologues of Shaker
