Does not have antimicrobial or antifungal activity. Does not have hemolytic activity against rabbit erythrocytes. However, it causes some conductance changes in planar bilayer membranes, without membrane rupture, suggesting a cytolytic function on other biological targets. It causes paralysis, but is not lethal when injected into insect (M.domestica) larvae. Expressed by the venom gland. The mature peptide (64-97) probably forms alpha-helices which disrupt target cell membranes. Cleavage of the propeptide depends on the processing quadruplet motif (XXXR, with at least one of X being E). Belongs to the cationic peptide 03 (latarcin) family. 07 subfamily.
