CC   -!- FUNCTION: Insecticidal neurotoxin that induces an irreversible spastic
CC       paralysis when injected into insects. Modifies presynaptic voltage-
CC       gated sodium channels (Nav), causing them to open at the normal resting
CC       potential of the nerve. This leads to spontaneous release of
CC       neurotransmitter and repetitive action potentials in motor neurons (By
CC       similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted {ECO:0000250}.
CC   -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed by the venom gland.
CC   -!- DOMAIN: The presence of a 'disulfide through disulfide knot'
CC       structurally defines this protein as a knottin. {ECO:0000250}.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the neurotoxin 07 (Beta/delta-agtx) family. 03
CC       (aga-4) subfamily. Aga sub-subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
