Neurotoxin
FUNCTION: Potently blocks vertebrate calcium channels Cav1 and Cav2. Is the most active on Cav2.2/CACNA1B (from HEK) (IC(50)=2.3 nM), followed by Cav2.1/CACNA1A (IC(50)=4.3 nM), Cav2.2/CACNA1B (from oocyte) (IC(50)=14.4 nM), Cav1.2/CACNA1C (IC(50)=26.8 nM), and Cav2.3/CACNA1E (IC(50)=96.4 nM). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9687583}.
