A Novel Dimeric Conotoxin, FrXXA, from the Vermivorous Cone Snail Conus fergusoni, of the Eastern Pacific, Inhibits Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors
We isolated a new dimeric conotoxin with inhibitory activity against neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. Edman degradation and transcriptomic studies indicate a homodimeric conotoxin composed by two chains of 47 amino acid in length. It has the cysteine framework XX and 10 disulfide bonds. A...
