Binds with high affinity to muscular (tested on Torpedo marmorata AChR, Kd=0.38 nM) and neuronal (tested on chimeric alpha-7/CHRNA7, Kd=12 nM) nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) and inhibits acetylcholine from binding to the receptor, thereby impairing neuromuscular and neuronal transmission (PubMed:9305882). The toxin also shows a very weak inhibition of GABA(A) receptors composed of alpha-1-beta-3-gamma-2 (GABRA1-GABRB3-GABRG2) subunits (PubMed:26221036). Expressed by the venom gland. LD(50) is 0.56 mg/kg by intraperitoneal injection into mice. Belongs to the snake three-finger toxin family. Long-chain subfamily. Type II alpha-neurotoxin sub-subfamily.
