Probable sodium channel pore blocker that dose-dependently inhibits voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSC) on DUM neurons in a way similar to tetrodotoxin (PubMed:20506577). Has no effect on the kinetics of activation and inactivation (PubMed:20506577). Seems not to interact with VGSC in an inactivated state (PubMed:20506577). In vivo, reversibly paralyzes cockroaches, and can enhance the muscular contraction elicited by stimulating its nerve (PubMed:14614533).2 Publications

<p>The checksum is a form of redundancy check that is calculated
from the sequence. It is useful for tracking sequence updates.</p>
<p>It should be noted that while, in theory, two different sequences could
have the same checksum value, the likelihood that this would happen
is extremely low.</p>
<p>However UniProtKB may contain entries with identical sequences in case
of multiple genes (paralogs).</p>
<p>The checksum is computed as the sequence 64-bit Cyclic Redundancy Check value (CRC64)
using the generator polynomial: x<sup>64</sup> + x<sup>4</sup> + x<sup>3</sup> + x + 1.
The algorithm is described in the ISO 3309 standard.
