Reviewed, UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot P56852 (TXHN1_GRARO)

Names and origin

Protein names	Hanatoxin-1 Also known as:      HaTx1
Organism	Grammostola rosea (Chilean rose tarantula) (Grammostola spatulata)
Taxonomic identifier	432528 [NCBI]
Taxonomic lineage	Eukaryota › Metazoa › Arthropoda › Chelicerata › Arachnida › Araneae › Mygalomorphae › Theraphosidae › Grammostola
Protein existence	Evidence at protein level.

General annotation (Comments)

Function	Inhibits Kv2.1 (KCNB1) and Kv4.2 (KCND2) voltage-gated potassium channels. Acts as a gating modifier by shifting channel openings to more depolarized voltages and acts via the occupancy of multiple binding sites on the channel. The toxin binding sites are situated on the S3-S4 extracellular linker of the channel. At least two hanatoxin molecules can occupy the Kv2.1 channel, and maybe more (three or four). Can also inhibit calcium channels (Cav2.1 / CACNA1A). Need to partition into the membrane in order to bind to the channel.
Subcellular location	Secreted.
Tissue specificity	Expressed by the venom gland.
Domain	The presence of a 'disulfide through disulfide knot' structurally defines this protein as a knottin.
Miscellaneous	Blockers of Kv2.1 potassium channels, such as hanatoxin, may be a useful approach to the design of novel therapeutic agents for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the huwentoxin-1 superfamily. Hanatoxin family.
