The heterodimer non-edited LVP1 induces lipolysis in rat adipocytes. Induction of lipolysis by LVP1 appears to be mediated through the beta-2 adrenergic receptor pathway (ADRB2). Intracerebroventricular injection is not toxic to mice. The edited BmKBTx-like, similar to beta-toxins, may modulate voltage-gated sodium channels (Nav) and may block voltage-gated potassium channels (Kv). Monomer (edited version) and heterodimer (non-edited version) of this alpha chain and a beta chain (AC P84809). Expressed by the venom gland. Has the structural arrangement of an alpha-helix connected to antiparallel beta-sheets by disulfide bonds (CS-alpha/beta). The stop codon (UGA) at position 79 is created by RNA editing. Belongs to the long (3 C-C) scorpion toxin superfamily.
