Activity
Activity
Neurotoxin
FUNCTION: Acts as an inhibitor of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) (PubMed:25466886). Specifically inhibits the alpha-7 nAChRs of D.melanogaster, and seems to have no inhibitory effect on vertebrate nAChR subtypes (PubMed:25466886). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25466886}.
