Biochem/physiol Actions

Margatoxin is an α-KTx toxin, which is majorly used in ion channel research. It is a 39-amino acid peptide, which is a specific K(V)1.3 channel voltage-dependent K+ channel blocker. Margatoxin is an immunosuppressant that is isolated from the venom of the scorpion Centruroides margaritatus.

Lymphocytes are of rich in delayed rectifier K(+)-channels (Kv1.3) in their plasma membranes, and the channels play crucial roles in the lymphocyte activation and proliferation. Since chloroquine, a widely used anti-malarial drug, exerts immunosuppressive effects, it will affect the channel

The K(v)1.3 voltage-gated potassium channel regulates membrane potential and calcium signaling in human effector memory T cells that are key mediators of autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis, type 1 diabetes, and rheumatoid arthritis. Thus, subtype-specific K(v)1.3 blockers have potential

Retinal ganglion cell (RGC) degeneration is an important cause of visual impairment, and results in part from microglia-mediated inflammation. Numerous experimental studies have focused on identifying drug targets to rescue these neurons. We recently showed that K(V)1.1 and K(V)1.3 channels

The ATP-sensitive K(+) channels opener (K(ATP)CO), P1075 [N-cyano-N'-(1,1-dimethylpropyl)-N″-3-pyridylguanidine], has been shown to cause relaxation of various isolated animal and human blood vessels by opening of vascular smooth muscle ATP-sensitive K(+) (K(ATP)) channels. In addition to the well-known effect on the

The potassium channel Kv1.3 is a potentially attractive therapeutic target in T cell-mediated inflammatory diseases, as the activity of antigen-activated T cells is selectively impeded by Kv1.3 inhibition. In this study, we examined Kv1.3 as a potential therapeutic intervention point
