Inhibition of T-type voltage-gated calcium channels by a new scorpion toxin

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 the α null null null null null null null null null null null null null null null null null null null null null null null null null null null null null null null null null 1G ...
