- Target
- Toxin ShK (Stoichactishelianthus potassium-channel reduced)
- Background
- ShK has been isolated from the venom of the Carribean seaanemone Stoichactis helianthus. This toxin inhibits voltagedependentpotassium channels. It blocks Kv1.3 (KCNA3)potently and also Kv1.1 (KCNA1), Kv1.4 (KCNA4), and Kv1.6(KCNA6) respectively with 11 pM,16 pM and 165 pM.
