Function
PA2HC_OXYSC Heterotrimer: Snake venom phospholipase A2 (PLA2) heterotrimer that acts as a potent presynaptic neurotoxin by blocking synaptic transmission and synaptic vesicle recycling. May act by binding in a calcium-dependent fashion to neurotonal pentraxin-1 (NPTX1) and neurotonal pentraxin-2 (NPTX2), but not to neuronal pentraxin receptor (NPTXR). Also binds to taipoxin-associated calcium binding protein 49 (RCN2), a protein localized in the lumen of endoplasmic reticulum. Monomer (beta chain): Snake venom phospholipase A2 homolog that is neither toxic nor enzymatically active. Does not bind calcium.
