Abstract
This invention relates to an isolated nucleic acid fragment encoding scorpion toxins that are K-channel modifiers. The invention also relates to the construction of a chimeric gene encoding all or a substantial portion of the K-channel modifier, in sense or antisense orientation, wherein expression of the chimeric gene results in production of altered levels of the K-channel modifier in a transformed host cell.
