DE RecName: Full=Dortoxin; DE AltName: Full=Dorsotoxin; OS Parabuthus transvaalicus (South African fattail scorpion). OC Eukaryota; Metazoa; Ecdysozoa; Arthropoda; Chelicerata; Arachnida; OC Scorpiones; Buthida; Buthoidea; Buthidae; Parabuthus. OX NCBI_TaxID=170972; RN [1] RP PROTEIN SEQUENCE, AND MASS SPECTROMETRY. RC TISSUE=Venom; RX PubMed=15804521; DOI=10.1016/j.toxicon.2005.01.020; RA Inceoglu A.B., Lango J., Pessah I.N., Hammock B.D.; RT "Three structurally related, highly potent, peptides from the venom of RT Parabuthus transvaalicus possess divergent biological activity."; RL Toxicon 45:727-733(2005). CC -!- FUNCTION: Binds to sodium channels (Nav) and affects the channel CC activation process (By similarity). In mice, causes hyperactivity that CC persists until death. {ECO:0000250}. CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted. CC -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed by the venom gland. CC -!- DOMAIN: Has the structural arrangement of an alpha-helix connected to CC antiparallel beta-sheets by disulfide bonds (CS-alpha/beta). CC {ECO:0000305}. CC -!- MASS SPECTROMETRY: Mass=6641.4; Method=Electrospray; CC Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:15804521}; CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the long (3 C-C) scorpion toxin superfamily. CC Sodium channel inhibitor family. Beta subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
