Right: Stromatoxin-1 dose-dependent inhibition of KV2.1 current amplitude.
Stromatoxin-1 is a 34 amino acid peptidyl toxin originally isolated from Stromatopelma calceatum tarantula1. Structurally, Stromatoxin-1 belongs to the scaffold of structural inhibitor cysteine knot peptide family, which were shown to function as gating modifiers2.
Stromatoxin-1 selectively inhibits KV2.1, KV2.1/9.3, and KV4.2 channel currents (IC50 of 12.7 nM, 7.2 nM and 1.2 nM respectively), and is the first high-affinity voltage gating modifier inhibitor of the KV2.2 channel subtype (IC50, 21.4 nM) to be discovered1.
