Vm24 is a member of the short scorpion toxin superfamily[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/?query=family%3A%22short+scorpion+toxin+superfamily%22&sort=score], potassium channel inhibitor family[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/?query=family:%22short+scorpion+toxin+superfamily.+Potassium+channel+inhibitor+family%22&sort=score]. Vm24 appears as a sister clade to the α-KTx subfamilies 6 and 7, and is thus proposed as a novel new subfamily α-KTx 23.1[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/?query=family:%22short+scorpion+toxin+superfamily.+Potassium+channel+inhibitor+family.+Alpha-KTx+23+subfamily%22&sort=score]. The alpha-KTx 23 subfamily contains proteins with the CSalpha/beta fold, which comprises one or two short alpha helices connected to anti-parallel beta-sheets stabilized by three or four disulfide bonds. | Vm24 is a member of the short scorpion toxin superfamily[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/?query=family%3A%22short+scorpion+toxin+superfamily%22&sort=score], potassium channel inhibitor family[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/?query=family:%22short+scorpion+toxin+superfamily.+Potassium+channel+inhibitor+family%22&sort=score].
