Evidence 1
Activity
Activity
Neurotoxin
FUNCTION: Does not show any effect on voltage-gated sodium and potassium channels (10 uM of toxin tested), and on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (5 uM of toxin tested) (PubMed:27801785). Does not show antibacterial activity on both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria (PubMed:27801785). Intraperitoneal injection into fish provokes paralysis (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P0CH15, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27801785}.
Target
