References | In addition to being more potent than hanatoxin or stromatoxin, this peptide, Guangxitoxin-1E (GxTX-1E) had higher specificity for Kv2 channels, inhibiting Kv4.3 channels with an 8-fold lower potency and without significant effect on Kv1 or Kv3 family channels. The high selectivity of GxTX-1E for Kv2 makes it an attractive tool for studying the function of Kv2 channels in various types of neurons.
