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 against both mammals and insects. Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to aa1-62 from Tityus bahiensis Toxin Tb2-II, fused to 10X His-Tag at N-terminal and Myc-Tag at C-terminal, expressed in E.coli.
