Insect-selective spider toxins targeting voltage-gated sodium channels [PDF]
, 2007 The voltage-gated sodium (Nav) channel is a target for a number of drugs, insecticides and neurotoxins. These bind to at least seven identified neurotoxin binding sites and either block conductance or modulate Nav channel gating.

Spider neurotoxins targeting voltage-gated sodium channels [PDF]
, 2005 The voltage-gated sodium (Nav) channel is a target for a number of drugs, insecticides, and neurotoxins. These bind to at least seven identified neurotoxin binding sites and either block conductance or modulate sodium channel gating and/or kinetics.
