Psalmotoxin-1 activates cASIC1, which is unexpected as the chicken ASIC protein shares considerable sequence homology (89%) to human and rat ASIC1a and less homology to ASIC1b.4 Both the human and rat ASIC1a subtypes are antagonized by PcTx1 under normal conditions. Chen and Grunder have shown that PcTx1 activation can by observed in ASIC1a by lowering calcium.
