Neurotoxin
FUNCTION: Dual-function toxin that acts both as an insecticidal and an antimicrobial peptide (PubMed:19966481, PubMed:30393903, PubMed:35490851). May inhibit voltage-gated potassium channels (Kv) (By similarity). This amphipathic peptide causes significant antimicrobial activity against E.coli (MIC=7 uM) but does not show any activity against S.aureus even at high concentration (PubMed:19966481, PubMed:30393903, PubMed:35490851). In vivo, causes paralysis or death to crickets (PubMed:19966481, PubMed:30393903, PubMed:35490851). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q0GY41, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19966481, ECO:0000269|PubMed:30393903, ECO:0000269|PubMed:35490851}.
