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).
