CC   -!- FUNCTION: Amphipathic peptide which probably adopts an alpha-helical
CC       structure. When injected in subesophageal ganglia of cockroach
CC       P.americana, a natural host for larvae of A.compressa, dampens the
CC       escape response for about 1 hour which may contribute to early stages
CC       of hypokinesia. Has no antimicrobial activity against E.coli DH5alpha
CC       or B.thuringiensis. Is not cytotoxic in vitro.
CC       {ECO:0000269|PubMed:29350905}.
CC   -!- SUBUNIT: Monomer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:29350905}.
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted {ECO:0000269|PubMed:29350905}.
CC   -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in venom sac and, to a lesser extent, in
CC       venom gland. Not expressed in brain. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:29350905}.
CC   -!- MASS SPECTROMETRY: Mass=2847; Method=MALDI;
CC       Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:29350905};
