Comments Information

    • Function

    • Exhibits unusual shark repellent and surfactant properties. Forms voltage-dependent, ion-permeable channels in membranes. At high concentration causes cell membrane lysis. Causes death in killfish oryzias latipes in 30 minutes at a concentration of 25 micrograms/ml.

    • Subunit structure

    • In aqueous solution exists as a tetramer.

    • Domain

    • Consists of a C-terminal hydrophilic region and a predominantly hydrophobic remainder.
