| Description | U-limacoditoxin(1)-Dv5 (U-LCTX(1)-Dv5) (Vulnericin) |
| Organism | Doratifera vulnerans |
| Txonomy | Eukaryota; Opisthokonta; Metazoa; Eumetazoa; Bilateria; Protostomia; Ecdysozoa; Panarthropoda; Arthropoda; Mandibulata; Pancrustacea; Hexapoda; Insecta; Dicondylia; Pterygota (winged insects); Neoptera; Endopterygota; Amphiesmenoptera; Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths); Glossata; Neolepidoptera; Heteroneura; Ditrysia; Apoditrysia; Zygaenoidea; Limacodidae (slug caterpillar moths); Doratifera; Doratifera vulnerans (Mottled cup moth) |
| Subcellular Location | Secreted |
| Developmental Stage | Only secreted by caterpillars. Adult moth do not have spines. |
| Similarity | Belongs to the limacoditoxin-1 (ACP-like) family. |
| Tissue Specificity | Expressed by the spine venom secretory cell. The spine is a cuticular structure containing at its base a single large nucleated venom secretory cell; as well as a central venom reservoir extending thr |
| Post Translational Modification | NA |
| Function | Probable toxin. Does not show activity on the ACP receptor (ACPR) from the mosquito A.aegypti; on receptors of the closely related neuropeptides adipokinetic hormone and corazonin. In vivo; does not reveal any observable effects when injected into crickets (A.domesticus). Does not induce increase in intracellular calcium in mouse DRG neurons; suggesting that it does not induce pain. |
