Activity | As a potassium channel inhibitor, crotamine selectively inhibits Kv1.1/KCNA1, Kv1.2/KCNA2, and Kv1.3/KCNA3 channels. Crotonamine is also a rapid cell penetration peptide (CPP), which is highly specific to actively proliferating cells. In order to enter the cell, it interacts with the chain of heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG), which is then internalized by the vesicle and transported into the cell with the help of vesicle protein. Inside the cell, crotamine accumulates in lysosomal vesicles, causing them to be destroyed at high concentrations. Crotonamine shows antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis, as well as against Candida and Trichosporum. And Neospora. It kills bacteria through membrane permeabilization. |
