RT   Dendroaspis polylepis polylepis (black mamba) venom.";
RL   J. Biol. Chem. 247:4029-4042(1972).
CC   -!- FUNCTION: Binds with high affinity to muscular (alpha-1/CHRNA1) and
CC       neuronal (alpha-7/CHRNA7) nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) and
CC       inhibits acetylcholine from binding to the receptor, thereby impairing
CC       neuromuscular and neuronal transmission.
CC       {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P60615}.
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted {ECO:0000269|PubMed:5033401}.
CC   -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed by the venom gland. {ECO:0000305}.
CC   -!- TOXIC DOSE: LD(50) is 0.12 mg/kg by subcutaneous injection.
CC       {ECO:0000269|PubMed:5033401}.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the snake three-finger toxin family. Long-chain
CC       subfamily. Type II alpha-neurotoxin sub-subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
