Beta toxins bind voltage-independently at site-4 of sodium channels (Nav) and shift the voltage of activation toward more negative potentials thereby affecting sodium channel activation and promoting spontaneous and repetitive firing. This toxin is active only on mammals. Source: Partial recombinant protein corresponding to aa20-85 from centruroides suffusus suffusus Beta-mammal toxin Css4, fused to His-SUMO-Tag at N-terminal, expressed in E. coli.
