CC -!- FUNCTION: Induces neurotoxic effect on honeybees, including slow
CC movements, disorientation and paralysis (PubMed:29303983). Since it
CC provokes similar symptoms than omega-atracotoxin, it is probable that
CC it acts in the same way by inhibiting voltage-gated calcium channels.
CC {ECO:0000269|PubMed:29303983, ECO:0000305}.
CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted {ECO:0000269|PubMed:29303983}.
CC -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed by the venom gland. Is the most highly
CC expressed peptide and is around 3000 times higher expressed in the
CC thoracic glands compared to its body tissues.
CC {ECO:0000305|PubMed:29303983}.
CC -!- DOMAIN: The presence of a 'disulfide through disulfide knot'
CC structurally defines this protein as a knottin.
CC {ECO:0000305|PubMed:29303983}.
CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the asilidin-1 family. {ECO:0000305}.
