Function
Binds specifically to voltage-gated sodium channels (Nav) (site 3), thereby delaying their inactivation. Has a strong effect on crustaceans and insects (DmNav1) and a weaker effect on mammals. This toxin is highly potent at mammalian Nav1.1/SCN1A (EC(50)=6.01 nM) and Nav1.2/SCN2A (EC(50)=7.88 nM).
