Scorpion toxins specific for Na+ and K+ channels, have been studied extensively but relatively little has been done on Ca2+ channel toxins. Toxins in the venom of only two South African scorpions P. transvaalicus and P. granulatus have been found to interact with Ca2+ channels. Kurtoxin isolated fro...
