Kaliseptine Kaliseptine (AsKS) is a neurotoxin which can be found in the snakelocks anemone ''Anemonia viridis''. It belongs to a class of sea anemone neurotoxins that inhibits voltage-gated potassium channels. ==Etymology== “Kali” is derived from the Latin word (), which means potassium. The suffix “septine” is derived from the Greek word “sepsis” (), which means “decay” or “putrefaction”. This suffix was added to distinguish it from the related toxin kalicludine. Kaliseptine was first isolated from the snakelocks anemone, which at the time was called ''Anemonia sulcata''. Kaliseptine is abbreviated as AsKS, which stands for Anemonia sulcata KaliSeptine.〔 The rational nomenclature of kaliseptine is kappa-actitoxin-Avd6a. The first letter Kappa indicates its molecular target, namely a voltage-gated potassium channel. Actitoxin is a neurotoxin derived from the Actiniidae. Avd denotes that it is extracted from ''Anemonia viridis''. Finally, 6a specifies that this was the sixth Acititoxin of which the full-length amino acid sequence was published and that this is the first isoform.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/Q9TWG1 )〕
