Activity
Activity
Neurotoxin
FUNCTION: Binds specifically to voltage-gated sodium channels (Nav), thereby delaying their inactivation during signal transduction (By similarity). Is highly toxic to crabs (by intrahemocoelic injection) (PubMed:2568126, PubMed:22015268), but without effect upon mice (by intraperitoneal injection) (PubMed:2568126). {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22015268, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2568126}.
