RT   Androctonus mauretanicus mauretanicus, six of which are toxic to the

CC   -!- FUNCTION: Toxin with unknown function in healthy organisms. On glioma
CC       cells, interacts with chloride channels (probably ClC-3/CLCN3) and MMP2
CC       at the surface of glioma cells. This complex is then internalized via
CC       caveolae, thus inhibiting the chloride channels necessary for cell
CC       shrinkage and tumor propagation (By similarity).
CC       {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9UAD0}.
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted {ECO:0000269|PubMed:3992595}.
CC   -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed by the venom gland.
CC       {ECO:0000305|PubMed:3992595}.
CC   -!- DOMAIN: The presence of a 'disulfide through disulfide knot'
CC       structurally defines this protein as a knottin.
CC       {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P15222}.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the short scorpion toxin superfamily. Chloride
CC       channel inhibitor family. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00545}.
