RT channels.";
RL Biochem. Pharmacol. 74:623-638(2007).
CC -!- FUNCTION: Insecticidal toxin that reversibly and voltage-independently
CC blocks both mid-low- (M-LVA) and high-voltage-activated (HVA) calcium
CC channels (Cav) in cockroach DUM neurons. Also causes a modest block of
CC insect sodium channel currents (Nav). Induces potent excitatory
CC symptoms, followed by flaccid paralysis leading to death in house
CC crickets (By 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 -!- MISCELLANEOUS: This toxin comes from a female specimen. It is observed
CC that propeptide sequences coming from female specimen have only limited
CC homology with the male paralogs, but the reason is unknown.
CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the neurotoxin 08 (Shiva) family. 01 (omega
CC toxin) subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
