Ant venoms contain vertebrate-selective pain-causing sodium channel toxins

Stings of certain ant species (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) can cause intense, long-lasting nociception. Here we show that the major contributors to these symptoms are venom peptides that modulate the activity of voltage-gated sodium (Na(V)) channels, reducing their voltage threshold for activation and...
