We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.
4gv5
From Proteopedia
X-ray structure of crotamine, a cell-penetrating peptide from the Brazilian snake Crotalus durissus terrificus
Function
[MYX_CRODR] This toxin specifically modifies voltage-gated sodium channels (Nav), it exhibits analgesic activity. Moreover, it actively interacts with lipid membranes (By similarity). It induces severe myonecrosis accompanied by edema and hemorrhage.
