Beta-insect depressant toxin LqhIT2

UniProtKB accession:  Q26292

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Depressant insect beta-toxins cause a transient contraction paralysis followed by a slow flaccid paralysis. They bind voltage-independently at site-4 of sodium channels (Nav) and shift the voltage of activation toward more negative potentials thereby affecting sodium channel activation and promoting spontaneous and repetitive firing. This toxin is active only on insects.
