CC   -!- FUNCTION: Leech salivary gland peptide with unknown function.
CC       {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:A0A2L1DGG0}.
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:A0A2L1DGG0}.
CC   -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in salivary glands. Highly expressed in
CC       the head, body and tail with a 2-3-fold higher expression in the head.
CC       {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:A0A2L1DGG0}.
CC   -!- MISCELLANEOUS: Does not show effect on voltage-gated calcium channels,
CC       potassium channels, and tetrodotoxin-sensitive sodium channels. Does
CC       not show activity on Nav1.7/SCN9A, and shows very weak activity on
CC       cation channel TRPA1. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:A0A2L1DGG0}.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the annelide toxin family. {ECO:0000305}.
