CC -!- FUNCTION: Neurotoxin T2 is a presynaptic neurotoxin of the venom that
CC exhibits indirect hemolytic activity against human erythrocytes. The B
CC chain is homologous to venom basic protease inhibitors but has no
CC protease inhibitor activity and is non-toxic.
CC {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14769867}.
CC -!- SUBUNIT: Heterodimer; disulfide-linked. The A chains have phospholipase
CC A2 activity and the B chains show homology with the basic protease
CC inhibitors. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14769867}.
CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14769867}.
CC -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed by the venom gland.
CC {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14769867}.
CC -!- TOXIC DOSE: LD(50) is 0.22 mg/kg by intravenous injection in mice.
CC {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14769867}.
CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the venom Kunitz-type family. {ECO:0000305}.
