Toxicity Profile
Route of ExposureInjection (sting/bite) (3)
Mechanism of ToxicityPompilidotoxin slows down inactivation of neuronal, but not heart sodium channels, potentiating synaptic transmission. This is believed to be done by binding to the neurotoxin receptor site 3 on the extracellular surface of the sodium channel. (2, 1)
MetabolismFree toxin may be removed by opsonization via the reticuloendothelial system (primarily the liver and kidneys) or it may be degraded through cellular internalization via the lysosomes. Lysosomes are membrane-enclosed organelles that contain an array of digestive enzymes, including several proteases.

Health Effectsalpha-Pompilidotoxin is neurotoxic. (1)
SymptomsWasp and bee stings cause local pain and swelling. In some individuals an allergic reaction may result, which is usually anaphylactic and can be deadly. (4)

Targets

General Function:
Voltage-gated sodium channel activity
Specific Function:
Mediates the voltage-dependent sodium ion permeability of excitable membranes. Assuming opened or closed conformations in response to the voltage difference across the membrane, the protein forms a sodium-selective channel through which Na(+) ions may pass in accordance with their electrochemical gradient.
