Synonyms: α-KTx 23.1 [1]
Compound class:
Peptide
Comment: Vm24 is a 36 amino acid peptide toxin that was isolated from the venom of the Mexican scorpion Vaejovis mexicanus smithi, and which was subsequently produced by chemical synthesis [1]. It acts as a selective blocker of the Kv1.3 potassium channel. Vm24 can be used to study the biological processes that are modulated by Kv1.3 blockade and to help identify the pathways that are key to Kv1.3's participation in normal and pathological states.
Ligand Activity Visualisation ChartsThese are box plot that provide a unique visualisation, summarising all the activity data for a ligand taken from ChEMBL and GtoPdb across multiple targets and species. Click on a plot to see the median, interquartile range, low and high data points. A value of zero indicates that no data are available. A separate chart is created for each target, and where possible the algorithm tries to merge ChEMBL and GtoPdb targets by matching them on name and UniProt accession, for each available species. However, please note that inconsistency in naming of targets may lead to data for the same target being reported across multiple charts. ✖ |
