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.

Parabutoporin, a cationic amphipathic peptide from scorpion venom: Much more than an antibiotic [PDF]
Toxicon, 2010 Parabutoporin (PP) from the South African scorpion Parabuthus schlechteri is a 45-mer lysine-rich and cysteine-free peptide. At micromolar concentrations it has antimicrobial effects against G+ and G- bacteria and is antifungal as well. However, at submicromolar concentrations, parabutoporin also directly interferes with cellular functions of the human
