"It has been proposed that the differential selectivity of DTX-K, which exclusively blocks Kv1.1 channels, compared to αDTX, which inhibits Kv1.1, 1.2, and 1.6 channels, may be attributed to the presence of two critical residue regions in DTX-K (located in the β-hairpin and the 3 -helix), as opposed to only one region in αDTX (located at the N-terminus and not the β-hairpin)."

"In voltage-clamp experiments, dendrotoxin-K (DTX-K), a Kv1.1-specific inhibitor, significantly reduced peak outward K + currents in wildtype (WT) atrial cells but not Kcna1 -/- cells, demonstrating an important contribution by Kv1.1-containing channels to mouse atrial repolarizing currents."
