RT theraphosid spider Coremiocnemis tropix.";
RL Toxicon 123:62-70(2016).
CC -!- FUNCTION: This toxin causes paralysis and death to sheep blowflies
CC (PubMed:27793656). It may inhibit voltage-gated calcium channels (By
CC similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P0DL81,
CC ECO:0000269|PubMed:27793656}.
CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted {ECO:0000269|PubMed:27793656}.
CC -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed by the venom gland.
CC {ECO:0000305|PubMed:27793656}.
CC -!- PTM: Contains 3 disulfide bonds. Two different connectivities are
CC observed in similar proteins (C1-C3, C2-C5, C4-C6 or C1-C4, C2-C5, C3-
CC C6). {ECO:0000305|PubMed:27793656}.
CC -!- MASS SPECTROMETRY: Mass=4325.068; Method=MALDI; Note=Monoisotopic
CC mass.; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:27793656};
CC -!- TOXIC DOSE: PD(50) is 1335 +- 132 pmol/g in adult sheep blowflies
CC (L.cuprina) (at 24 hours post-injection).
CC {ECO:0000269|PubMed:27793656}.
CC -!- TOXIC DOSE: LD(50) is 1688 +- 64 pmol/g in adult sheep blowflies
CC (L.cuprina) (at 24 hours post-injection).
CC {ECO:0000269|PubMed:27793656}.
CC -!- MISCELLANEOUS: No effect of the synthetic peptide are observed on
CC voltage-gated sodium channels from the American cockroach Periplanata
CC americana or the German cockroach Blattella germanica.
CC {ECO:0000269|PubMed:27793656}.
CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the neurotoxin 12 (Hwtx-2) family. 03 (juruin)
CC subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
