CC   -!- FUNCTION: Shows cytolytic activity on many different cells by forming
CC       pore in lipid membranes. In vivo, increases heart rate or kills the
CC       animal by cardiac arrest. In addition, it binds to heparin with high
CC       affinity, interacts with Kv channel-interacting protein 1 (KCNIP1) in a
CC       calcium-independent manner, and binds to integrin alpha-V/beta-3
CC       (ITGAV/ITGB3) with moderate affinity. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P60301,
CC       ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P60304}.
CC   -!- SUBUNIT: Monomer in solution; Homodimer and oligomer in the presence of
CC       negatively charged lipids forming a pore with a size ranging between 20
CC       and 30 Angstroms. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P60301}.
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted {ECO:0000250}. Target cell membrane
CC       {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P60301}.
CC   -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed by the venom gland. {ECO:0000305}.
CC   -!- MISCELLANEOUS: Is classified as a P-type cytotoxin, since a proline
CC       residue stands at position 51 (Pro-31 in standard classification).
CC       {ECO:0000305}.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the snake three-finger toxin family. Short-chain
CC       subfamily. Type IA cytotoxin sub-subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
