Potassium Channels Blockers from the Venom of Androctonus mauretanicus mauretanicus
K+ channels selectively transport K+ ions across cell membranes and play a key role in regulating the physiology of excitable and nonexcitable cells. Their activation allows the cell to repolarize after action potential firing and reduces excitability, whereas channel inhibition increases excitabili...
