Neurotoxin
FUNCTION: Heterotrimer: blocks the voltage-dependent L-type calcium channels (Cav) from the heart, and the small conductance calcium-activated potassium channels (KCa) in the chromaffin cells and in the brain. Is very toxic to mice.
FUNCTION: Monomer: serine protease inhibitor that inhibits plasma kallikrein (Ki=0.057 nM), tissue kallikrein (Ki=0.23 nM), trypsin (Ki=0.31 nM), plasmin (Ki=6.1 nM), elastase (Ki=201 nM), factor Xa (Ki=871 nM), alpha-factor XIIa (Ki=2380 nM). Does not inhibit APC, urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA/PLAU), tissue plasminogen activator (tPA/PLAT), thrombin and factor VIIa. In addition, the monomer inhibits fibrinolysis in whole blood and prolonged the intrinsec clotting time.
