UniProtKB description:  Toxin that is lethal to crab (PubMed:16183092). It interacts with divalent metal ions (zinc and nickel) suggesting it may function as a metal ion chelator to regulate metal ion levels or as a metal ion transporter, or that its function is modulated by metal ions. Is not active against any of the voltage-gated potassium and sodium channels tested (PubMed:33387653). In addition, it does not show activity in bacterial and fungal growth inhibitory assays as well as in hemolytic assays (PubMed:33387653).
