CC -!- FUNCTION: Heterotrimer: Snake venom phospholipase A2 (PLA2) that has
CC presynaptic neurotoxicity. Inhibits nerve-evoked twitch contractions
CC but not responses to cholinergic agonists acetylcholine and carbachol
CC and to depolarizing agonist KCl. Causes a fade in tetanic contractions.
CC Displays a triphasic mode of action with depression, enhancement and
CC blockade of neurotransmission. Does not display myotoxic activity such
CC as changes in baseline muscle tension or inhibition of directly
CC stimulated muscle twitches. All subunits are necessary for maximum
CC toxicity. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20361942}.
CC -!- FUNCTION: Monomer: the gamma chain has no significant enzymatic
CC activity and is not toxic by itself. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20361942}.
CC -!- SUBUNIT: Heterotrimer of alpha, beta and gamma chains, each related to
CC PLA2. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20361942}.
CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20361942}.
CC -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed by the venom gland.
CC {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20361942}.
CC -!- PTM: Glycosylated. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20361942}.
CC -!- MASS SPECTROMETRY: Mass=17373; Method=MALDI; Note=glycosylated form.;
CC Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:20361942};
CC -!- MASS SPECTROMETRY: Mass=17632; Method=MALDI; Note=glycosylated form.;
CC Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:20361942};
CC -!- MASS SPECTROMETRY: Mass=17836; Method=MALDI; Note=glycosylated form.;
CC Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:20361942};
CC -!- MISCELLANEOUS: Preincubation of P-elapitoxin-Aa1a with monovalent
CC antivenom or suramin prevents or delays toxicity, respectively.
CC Antivenom fails to reverse neurotoxicity when applied at point of 90%
CC neuromuscular blockade. Treatment of P-elapitoxin-Aa1a with 4-
CC bromophenacyl bromide drastically reduces enzymatic activity and
CC toxicity, presumably by alkylating a His residue at the active site.
CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the phospholipase A2 family. Group I subfamily.
