Neurotoxin
FUNCTION: Spider venom toxin that exhibits cytolytic activity by forming an alpha-helix across the membrane (PubMed:20657014). Lethal to insect larvae (PubMed:20657014, PubMed:24717175). Causes instant paralysis and death in the larvae of the flesh fly (S.carnaria) at doses of 20 ug/g, at doses of less than 10 ug/g causes reversible paralysis (PubMed:20657014). Has cytolytic activity against insect Sf9 cells (PubMed:20657014). Causes stable and irreversible depolarization of fly muscle fibers, leading to contracture at higher toxin concentrations (PubMed:20657014). Destabilizes membranes (PubMed:20657014). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20657014, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24717175}.
