RT   for nicotinic acetylcholine receptors.";

CC   -!- FUNCTION: Binds with high affinity to muscle nicotinic acetylcholine
CC       receptor (nAChR) and hinders acetylcholine binding to the receptor,
CC       thereby impairing neuromuscular transmission. Causes muscle paralysis,
CC       spasms and increased respiration. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9W7K2}.
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. Short-chain
CC       subfamily. Type III alpha-neurotoxin sub-subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
