Distribution and kinetics of the Kv1.3-blocking peptide HsTX1[R14A] in experimental rats

Abstract The peptide HsTX1[R14A] is a potent and selective blocker of the voltage-gated potassium channel Kv1.3, which is a highly promising target for the treatment of autoimmune diseases and other conditions. In order to assess the biodistribution of this peptide, it was conjugated with NOTA and r...
