CC   -!- FUNCTION: Highly potent toxin against both insect and some mammalian
CC       sodium channels (Nav) (PubMed:34445875). It potently inhibits
CC       inactivation of insect sodium channels of B.germanica (BgNav1)
CC       (EC(50)=7.8 nM) and also delays the inactivation of mammalian Nav with
CC       potent activity on Nav1.3/SCN3A and Nav1.4/SCN4A (hNav1.1/SCN1A;
CC       EC(50)=102.1 nM, rNav1.2/SCN2A; EC(50)=156.1 nM, rNav1.3/SCN3A;
CC       EC(50)=9.4 nM, rNav1.4/SCN4A; EC(50)=15.4 nM, hNav1.5/SCN5A;
CC       EC(50)=132.7 nM, mNav1.6/SCN8A; EC(50)=66.9 nM, hNav1.9/SCN9A;
CC       EC(50)=73 nM) (PubMed:34445875). 1 uM is enough to completely inhibits
CC       the inactivation, resulting in sustained non-inactivating currents (By
CC       similarity). In addition, the toxin significantly enhances the recovery
CC       from inactivation, and the open state is not required for the toxin to
CC       interact with the channel (By similarity). In vivo, injection into
CC       brine shrimp (Artemia salina) stops movement or causes death after 24
CC       hours (EC(50)=0.4 uM) (PubMed:34445875). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P0DM24,
CC       ECO:0000269|PubMed:34445875}.
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P0DM24}.
CC   -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Confined to the epidermis and to the mucus layer.
CC       {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P0DM24}.
CC   -!- DOMAIN: The presence of a 'disulfide through disulfide knot'
CC       structurally defines this protein as a knottin.
CC       {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P0DM24}.
CC   -!- MISCELLANEOUS: Does not shows effect on rat Nav1.8/SCN10A.
CC       {ECO:0000269|PubMed:34445875}.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the nemertide family. {ECO:0000305}.
