Scorpion venom are species-specific, which functions in prey capture or predator deterence. It might be lethal to humans. It induces prolonged and excessive firing of neuronal axons, that results in a wide range of signs and symptoms. Scorpion venom might be associated with local pain, bronchoconstriction, neurologic and cardiovascular collapse.
Application
Scorpion venom from Centruroides sculpturatus has been used to activate neuronal sodium channels.
