Neurotoxin
FUNCTION: Snake venom phospholipase A2 (PLA2) that shows presynaptic neurotoxicity. 10 ug/ml of this protein produce complete neuromuscular blockade up to 70 minutes, without inhibiting the responses to acetylcholine (ACh), but with a partial inhibition (67%) of the response to potassium chloride (KCl). {ECO:0000269|Ref.1}.
