Activity
Neurotoxin
FUNCTION: Blocks the Nav1.2/SCN2A, Nav1.4/SCN4A, and Nav1.6/SCN8A sodium channels. Reduces the peak amplitude of the sodium current and negatively shifts the steady-state inactivation process. Does not shift the threshold potential of activation or the voltage corresponding to maximal current. Does not change the reversal potential of the sodium current. May act on site 1 of the receptor. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18606177, ECO:0000269|Ref.2}.
