CC -!- FUNCTION: This heterodimer may have anti-inflammatory properties, since
CC the myrmexin complex (composed of 6 SS-LS heterodimers) inhibits
CC carrageenin-induced edema in a dose-dependent manner (after
CC subcutaneous injection into rats). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10758275}.
CC -!- SUBUNIT: Heterodimer composed of subunit LS2 and subunit SS1,
CC heterodimer composed of subunit LS2 and SS2, and heterodimer composed
CC of subunit LS2 and SS3; disulfide-linked.
CC {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10758275}.
CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10758275}.
CC -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed by the venom gland.
CC {ECO:0000305|PubMed:10758275}.
CC -!- MISCELLANEOUS: There are 6 heterodimeric myrmexins which consist of a
CC small subunit (SS1 or SS2 or SS3) disulfide-linked to a larger, quite
CC structurally unrelated subunit (LS1 or LS2).
CC {ECO:0000305|PubMed:10758275}.
CC -!- MISCELLANEOUS: MALDI experiments give a mass of 7069 Da for U1-PSDTX-
CC Pt1a heterodimer (SS1+LS2). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10758275}.
CC -!- MISCELLANEOUS: MALDI experiments give a mass of 7090 Da for U1-PSDTX-
CC Pt1c heterodimer (SS2+LS2). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10758275}.
CC -!- MISCELLANEOUS: MALDI experiments give a mass of 7143 Da for U1-PSDTX-
CC Pt1d heterodimer (SS3+LS2). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10758275}.
CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the myrmexin family. {ECO:0000305}.
