CC   -!- FUNCTION: Depressant insect beta-toxins cause a transient contraction
CC       paralysis followed by a slow flaccid paralysis. They bind voltage-
CC       independently at site-4 of sodium channels (Nav) and shift the voltage
CC       of activation toward more negative potentials thereby affecting sodium
CC       channel activation and promoting spontaneous and repetitive firing (By
CC       similarity). This toxin is active only on insects and causes a
CC       transient contraction paralysis followed by a slow flaccid paralysis.
CC       {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11437351}.
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=6820.9; Method=Electrospray;
CC       Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:11437351};
CC   -!- TOXIC DOSE: LD(50) is 67 ng/100 mg of body weight of blowfly larvae
CC       (S.falculata) and 138 ng/100 mg of body weight of cockroaches
CC       (B.germanica). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11437351}.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the long (4 C-C) scorpion toxin superfamily.
CC       Sodium channel inhibitor family. Beta subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
