Neurotoxin
FUNCTION: This toxin may inhibit nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR). It has poorly reversible postsynaptic blocking activity in a chick muscle preparation and readily reversible inhibitory activity at a presynaptic site in the rat vas deferens prostatic segment most likely to prevent the release of neurotransmitters. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15683871}.
