      • Alomone Labs β-Dendrotoxin Inhibits cloned KV1.1 and KV1.2 channel currents heterologously expressed in Xenopus oocytes.
        KV1.1 (left, in 2 mM K+) and KV1.2 (right, in 5 mM K+) channel currents, elicited by 200 ms depolarization from holding potential of -100 mV to +20 mV, before and during application of 100 nM β-Dendrotoxin (#B-360). 62% (n = 4) of the KV1.1 and 74% (n = 4) of the KV1.2 channels were inhibited by 100 nM β-Dendrotoxin, respectively.
      • β-Dendrotoxin is found in the Dendroaspis angusticeps snake venom1,2. It Blocks KV1.1 and KV1.2 channels expressed in Xenopus oocytes.
    Target KV1.1, KV1.2 K+ channels
