RT   Nephila clavipes (Araneae, Tetragnatidae).";
RL   Peptides 27:690-697(2006).
CC   -!- FUNCTION: Causes constriction on isolated rat ileum preparations and
CC       relaxation on rat duodenum muscle preparations at amounts higher than
CC       bradykinin. Is a partial agonist bradykinin receptor B2 (BDKRB2). Has
CC       insecticidal properties. May be related to the predation of insects by
CC       the spider webs. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16202476}.
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted.
CC   -!- TOXIC DOSE: LD(50) is 72 pmoles/mg when injected into honeybees. Dose
CC       that causes muscle constriction (ED(50)) is 1 uM. Dose that causes
CC       muscle relaxation (ED(50)) is 3.2 uM. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16202476}.
CC   -!- MISCELLANEOUS: Has been extracted from the spider web.
CC       {ECO:0000305|PubMed:16202476}.
CC   -!- MISCELLANEOUS: Does not target bradykinin receptor B1 (BDKRB1).
CC       {ECO:0000305|PubMed:16202476}.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the bradykinin-related peptide family.
CC       {ECO:0000305}.
