About: Neurotoxin B-IV

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Neurotoxin B-IV is a venom peptide secreted by a large marine worm called Cerebratulus lacteus that inhabits the northeastern coast of North America. This neurotoxin belongs to a major type of B polypeptide neurotoxins, which appear to be selectively toxic for crustaceans. The mode of action for neurotoxin B-IV has not been clearly established. However, it is likely that B neurotoxins prolong the repolarization phase of action potentials by interacting with voltage-gated sodium channels.
