UniProtKB - P18926 (SCX1_CENTE)
Protein
Beta-toxin Ct1a
Gene
N/A
Organism
Centruroides tecomanus (Scorpion) (Centruroides limpidus tecomanus)
Status
Functioni
Beta toxins 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 (By similarity).
Is lethal to mice but does not show toxicity to freshwater shrimp and crickets (PubMed:27130039).
By similarity1 PublicationMiscellaneous
Is neutralized by the single-chain antibody fragment 10FG2.1 Publication
