RT   beta-type Na+ channel toxin from Parabuthus transvaalicus.";
RL   Eur. J. Biochem. 269:5369-5376(2002).
CC   -!- FUNCTION: Beta toxins bind voltage-independently at site-4 of sodium
CC       channels (Nav) and shift the voltage of activation toward more negative
CC       potentials thereby affecting sodium channel activation and promoting
CC       spontaneous and repetitive firing. Does not produce effect when
CC       administered to blowfly and cabbage looper larvae. In mice, does not
CC       produce convulsions, tremors, increased ventilation nor death.
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted.
CC   -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed by the venom gland.
CC   -!- DOMAIN: Has the structural arrangement of an alpha-helix connected to
CC       antiparallel beta-sheets by disulfide bonds (CS-alpha/beta).
CC       {ECO:0000305}.
CC   -!- MASS SPECTROMETRY: Mass=6615; Method=MALDI;
CC       Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:12423335};
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the long (3 C-C) scorpion toxin superfamily.
CC       Sodium channel inhibitor family. Beta subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
