CC -!- FUNCTION: This protein markedly relaxes the rat carbachol-precontracted
CC anococcygeus muscle. This relaxation is inhibited by the inhibitor of
CC nitric oxide (NO) synthase, N-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME),
CC suggesting that the response induced by this protein is NO-mediated (By
CC similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
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 -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the long (4 C-C) scorpion toxin superfamily.
CC Sodium channel inhibitor family. Alpha subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
