Marine Toxins Targeting Kv1 Channels: Pharmacological Tools and Therapeutic Scaffolds
Toxins from marine animals provide molecular tools for the study of many ion channels, including mammalian voltage-gated potassium channels of the Kv1 family. Selectivity profiling and molecular investigation of these toxins have contributed to the development of novel drug leads with therapeutic po...
