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). {ECO:0000250}.
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted {ECO:0000250}.
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}.
