UniProtKB - P80962 (SIX2_BUTAR)
Protein
Beta-insect depressant toxin BaIT2
Gene
N/A
Organism
Buthacus arenicola (North African scorpion)
Status
Functioni
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.
