Neurotoxin
FUNCTION: Injections of 20 uM of this synthetic peptide (Ile) causes partial paralysis to polychaete worms (Nereis virens), the natural prey of terebrid snails (PubMed:24713808). This paralysis may be due to an inhibition of nicotinic receptors at the neuromuscular junction (Probable). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:24713808, ECO:0000305|PubMed:24713808}.
