Activity
Neurotoxin
FUNCTION: Elicits excitatory activity in two subsets of the mouse dorsal root ganglion neurons
the medium diameter isolectin B4-expressing neurons and the small diameter CGRP-expressing neurons. Displays low inhibition of the human alpha-9-alpha-10 nAChR (IC(50)=10.2 uM). In vivo, intracranial injection into mice causes strong tremors and impaired locomotion for around 3 hours after administration. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:29090914}.
