Neurotoxin
FUNCTION: Ion channel impairing toxin that inhibits several voltage-gated sodium channels. It acts by inhibiting the inward component of the sodium current and by shifting the voltage dependence of channel activation to more depolarized potentials (PubMed:32511987). Its most potent activity is on Nav1.7/SCN9A (IC(50)=167 nM), followed by Nav1.6/SCN8A (IC(50)=696 nM), and Nav1.2/SCN2A (IC(50)=3.54 uM) (PubMed:32511987). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:32511987}.
