Activity
Activity
Neurotoxin
FUNCTION: Binds specifically to voltage-gated sodium channels (Nav) and delays their inactivation during signal transduction (when tested on the soma membrane of a crustacean neuron). Has also been observed to affect the activation of the sodium current. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:2409523}.
