HaTx inhibits KCNB1. 4 / 4
| 4

reach
"Thus, HaTx inhibits the drk1 K+ channel, not by physically occluding the ion conduction pore, but by modifying channel gating."

reach
"To test further if the substituting KcsA pore is indeed under the control of the voltage sensors, we made a chimera between KcsA and the DRK1 (K V 2.1) voltage gated K + channel, because DRK1 is inhibited by HaTx."

reach
"We studied the mechanism by which Hanatoxin (HaTx) inhibits the drk1 voltage gated K+ channel."

reach
"Since HaTx inhibits DRK1 by hindering the movement of gating charges, the HaTx sensitivity of the chimera indicates that its gate remains under control of the voltage sensors."
