Activity
Neurotoxin
FUNCTION: Produces a positive inotropic effect in mammalian heart muscle. Modifies current passing through the fast sodium channel (Nav) in neuroblastoma cells, leading to delayed and incomplete inactivation. Paralyzes the shore crab (C.maenas) by tetanic contractions after intramuscular injection. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11072049}.
