CC -!- FUNCTION: Beta toxins modify sodium channel function in two ways: an
CC excitatory effect (shifting the activation process to more negative
CC potential) and/or a depressant effect (reducing the peak current). At
CC concentration of 500 nM this toxin produces channel opening at more
CC negative potentials in hNav1.2/SCN2A and hNav1.3/SCN3A, which shows the
CC biggest effect. On the other hand the peak current is decreased in
CC hNav1.4/SCN4A and hNav1.5/SCN5A channels, without apparent modification
CC of the activation gate. This toxin is active against mammals.
CC {ECO:0000269|PubMed:24862827}.
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 -!- MASS SPECTROMETRY: Mass=6938.12; Method=Electrospray;
CC Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:24862827};
CC -!- TOXIC DOSE: LD(50) is 28.5 ug/kg by intracranial injection into mice.
CC -!- MISCELLANEOUS: Does not produce significant modification of
CC hNav1.1/SCN1A and hNav1.6/SCN8A currents.
CC {ECO:0000305|PubMed:24862827}.
CC -!- MISCELLANEOUS: This toxin is thought to be responsible for the
CC intoxication symptoms caused by the sting of this species to humans.
CC {ECO:0000305|PubMed:24862827}.
CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the long (4 C-C) scorpion toxin superfamily.
CC Sodium channel inhibitor family. Beta subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
