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 70 pmoles/mg when injected into honeybees. Dose
CC that causes muscle constriction (ED(50)) is 0.7 uM. Dose that causes
CC muscle relaxation (ED(50)) is 1.0 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}.
