Neurotoxin
FUNCTION: Binds voltage-dependently at site 3 of sodium channels (Nav) and inhibits the inactivation of the activated channels, thereby blocking neuronal transmission. Possesses the highest efficacy for the insect sodium channel para/tipE (EC(50)=5.5 nM) (PubMed:12459477), and has effect on Nav1.2/SCN2A (in complex with SCN1B), Nav1.4/SCN4A (in complex with SCN1B) and Nav1.5/SCN5A (in complex with SCN1B) (PubMed:12459477). Also interacts with sodium channels in cardiac cells (PubMed:11704639). Shows lethality to crabs (PubMed:22015268). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11704639, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12459477, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22015268, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7911468}.
