Activity
Neurotoxin
FUNCTION: Heterodimer: presynaptic neurotoxin.
FUNCTION: Monomer: Snake venom phospholipase A2 (PLA2) is inactive towards micellar phosphatidylcholine but is weakly active towards non-micellar dithiolecithin. PLA2 catalyzes the calcium-dependent hydrolysis of the 2-acyl groups in 3-sn-phosphoglycerides.
