Dendrotoxin-K, KV1.1 blocker -
Description
Highly selective, potent KV1.1 blocker -
Biological description
Highly selective, potent KV1.1 blocker. Exclusively blocks the single cloned KV1.1 channels as opposed to dendrotoxins I, α, β and γ (Asc 1791, 1792, 1793 and 1794). Differentially blocks heteromers of KV1.1/1.X with variable affinity in different neuronal subtypes. -

Handling
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one week. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.

Functional Studies - Dendrotoxin-K, KV1.1 blocker (ab141795)Dendrotoxin-K inhibits KV1.1 channel currents heterologously expressed in Xenopus oocytes.
A.Time course at plateau of Dendrotoxin-K (ab141795) action on KV1.1 currents. Current amplitude at plateau was plotted as a function of time. Membrane potential was held at -80 mV and oocytes were stimulated by a 100 ms voltage ramp to -10 mV. 1 nM Dendrotoxin-K (applied for 2 min, green) were perfused during the period marked by the bar, (as indicated) and showed 70-80% inhibition of control current. B. Superimposed traces of channel current in the absence (black) and presence (green) of 1 nM Dendrotoxin-K (taken from experiment in A).
