Role in neuronal apoptosis.<ref>PMID:2714437</ref> <ref>PMID:1748670</ref> <ref>PMID:1517212</ref> <ref>PMID:11985878</ref> [[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/TXFA2_DENAN TXFA2_DENAN]] This three-finger toxin selectively binds and inhibits with a 1:1 stoichiometry the mammalian and electric fish acetylcholinesterase (AChE) at picomolar concentrations. It is highly specific for the peripheral site on acetylcholinesterase. It has been called fasciculin since after injection into mice it cause severe, generalized and long-lasting (5-7 hours) fasciculations. The whole venom has anticoagulant activity, and the various components seem to act synergistically. | ||
