Activity
Activity
Neurotoxin
FUNCTION: Binds specifically to sodium channels (Nav) of the axonal membrane of crayfish and prolongs the falling phase of the action potential. It also increases the maximum rates of rise of both action potential and resting potential (PubMed:6107210). Is only active on crustaceans. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:37290, ECO:0000269|PubMed:6107210}.
