Neurotoxin
FUNCTION: Mu-conotoxins block voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSC). Potently displaces (125)I-TIIIA from native rat brain Nav1.2/SCN2A (IC(50) is 5 nM) and muscle Nav1.4/SCN4A (IC(50) is 3 nM) VGSCs. Potently and irreversibly inhibits current through Xenopus oocyte-expressed Nav1.2/SCN2A and Nav1.4/SCN4A. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18522941}.
