Neurotoxin
FUNCTION: Insecticidal toxin. Binds to site 4 of insect voltage-gated sodium channel (Nav) and inhibits channel inactivation. In vivo, it lethal to lepidopteran larvae. Has no adverse affects when intracerebroventricularly injected in mice at a dose of 0.2 ug, but causes reversible paralysis of legs when injected intracerebroventricularly in mice at a dose of 2.0 ug. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10971590, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15683238}.
