Activity
Activity
Neurotoxin
FUNCTION: Binds voltage-independently to sodium channels (Nav) and shifts the voltage of activation toward more negative potentials (By similarity). This toxin is active against mammals and also affects neuromuscular preparations of frog. {ECO:0000250}.
Target
voltage-gated sodium channel (Nav)
