CC -!- FUNCTION: Excitatory insect toxins induce a spastic paralysis. They
CC bind voltage-independently at site-4 of sodium channels (Nav) and shift
CC the voltage of activation toward more negative potentials thereby
CC affecting sodium channel activation and promoting spontaneous and
CC repetitive firing (By similarity). Is lethal to mice. Is about 1% of
CC the total protein in the venom. {ECO:0000250}.
CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16762386}.
CC -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed by the venom gland. {ECO:0000305}.
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 -!- PTM: Contains 4 disulfide bonds. {ECO:0000250}.
CC -!- MASS SPECTROMETRY: Mass=7848.6; Method=Electrospray;
CC Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:16762386};
CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the long (4 C-C) scorpion toxin superfamily.
CC Sodium channel inhibitor family. Beta subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
