Neurotoxin
FUNCTION: Gating-modifier toxin that non-selectively inhibits voltage-gated sodium channel Nav by shifting the threshold for channel activation to more positive potentials. This toxin moderately inhibits human Nav1.2/SCN2A (IC(50)=404 nM), Nav1.5/SCN5A (IC(50)=218 nM) and Nav1.7/SCN9A (IC(50)=333 nM). Inhibition of Nav1.7 is voltage-dependent, with lower inhibition at more positive test pulses. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:26134258}.
