Activity
Activity
Neurotoxin
FUNCTION: May specifically activate neuronal voltage-gated sodium channels (Nav) at the resting membrane potential. Causes a marked contraction and extension of the caudal and dorsal fins in fish and noticeable spontaneous contractions of isolated frog neuromuscular preparations. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10510177}.
