Lq2 is a unique scorpion toxin. Acting from the extracellular side, Lq2 blocks the ion conduction pore in not only the voltage-and Ca 2Ψ‰ -activated channels, but also the inward-rectifier K Ψ‰ channels. This finding argues that the threedimensional structures of the pores in these K Ψ‰ channels are si
