RL   Submitted (JAN-1998) to the EMBL/GenBank/DDBJ databases.
CC   -!- FUNCTION: Postsynaptic neurotoxin that binds and inhibits neuronal
CC       nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) with high affinity
CC       (IC(50)<100 nM). Is a selective, and slowly reversible antagonist of
CC       alpha-3/CHRNA3-containing and some alpha-4/CHRNA4-containing AChRs.
CC       {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P01398}.
CC   -!- SUBUNIT: Homo- and heterodimer; non-covalently linked.
CC       {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P15816}.
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted {ECO:0000250}.
CC   -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed by the venom gland. {ECO:0000305}.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the snake three-finger toxin family. Long-chain
CC       subfamily. Kappa-neurotoxin sub-subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
