Ectatomin (1eci) is the main component of venom of the ant [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ectatomma_tuberculatum Ectatomma tuberculatum]. When bitten by E. tuberculatum, Ectatomin inserts into the target's [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_membrane cell membranes] and forms a nonselective [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion_channel cation channel].

<scene name='69/691538/Alpha_subunit/1'>α subunit</scene>

== Structure ==

Biologically, Ectatomin exists as a heterodimer stabilized by <scene name='69/691538/Cysteine_disulfide/1'>disulfide</scene> linkages. The α subunit has 37 amino acid residues, while the β subunit has 34 amino acid residues. The structure of Ectatomin was solved using 2D NMR and CHARMm computational optimization, though there are 20 similar proposed conformations.
