Induces neurotoxic effect on honeybees, including slow movements, disorientation and paralysis (PubMed:29303983). Since it provokes similar symptoms than omega-atracotoxin, it is probable that it acts in the same way by inhibiting voltage-gated calcium channels. Expressed by the venom gland. Is the most highly expressed peptide and is around 3000 times higher expressed in the thoracic glands compared to its body tissues. The presence of a 'disulfide through disulfide knot' structurally defines this protein as a knottin. Belongs to the asilidin-1 family.
