Poneratoxin acetate is the acetate salt form of Poneratoxin. It functions as a neurotoxic peptide and modulator for voltage-gated sodium channels (NaV), particularly NaV1.6 and NaV1.7. This compound lowers the voltage threshold for activation, inhibits the inactivation of channels, and enhances neuronal excitability, contributing to the transmission of pain signals.
