Activity
Neurotoxin
FUNCTION: A probable toxin that has no activity on the tested mammalian voltage-gated potassium channels (when tested at 1 uM) and is not toxic to mice (PubMed:36364113). It resembles alpha toxins that block voltage-gated potassium channels (Probable). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:36364113, ECO:0000305}.
