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 block action
CC potentials, primarily by depolarizing the axonal membrane and
CC suppressing the sodium current. This depressant toxin is active only on
CC insects. It is found in a relatively small amount in the venom, and its
CC activity on insects is 10-fold higher compared to other known
CC depressant toxins. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15966742}.
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 -!- TOXIC DOSE: PD(50) is 3-5 ng/100 mg of body weight of Sarcophaga larvae
CC for both contraction and flaccid paralysis.
CC {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15966742}.
CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the long (4 C-C) scorpion toxin superfamily.
CC Sodium channel inhibitor family. Beta subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
