CC -!- FUNCTION: Inhibits the sodium currents (Nav) in an apparent
CC irreversible manner. Produces small depolarization and induces
CC repetitive firing in squid axons. Is specific for arthropods (crickets,
CC triatomides, crabs and squids), but is non-toxic to mice (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. Beta subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
