Activity
Activity
Neurotoxin
FUNCTION: Binds with high affinity to muscular (alpha-1/CHRNA1) and neuronal (alpha-7/CHRNA7) nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) and inhibits acetylcholine from binding to the receptor, thereby impairing neuromuscular and neuronal transmission. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P60615}.
