Antagonist Properties of Conus parius Peptides on N-Methyl-D-Aspartate Receptors and Their Effects on CREB Signaling

Three members of a family of small neurotoxic peptides from the venom of Conus parius, conantokins (Con) Pr1, Pr2, and Pr3, function as antagonists of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDAR). We report structural characterizations of these synthetic peptides, and also demonstrate their antagonistic p...
