alpha-conotoxin GI
Hintergrund
Alpha-conotoxin GI has been isolated from the venom of the cone snail Conus geographus. This conotoxin acts on postsynaptic membranes, which bind to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR). It Inhibits nAChR currents. The highestaffinity site for Cis the alpha/delta site on mouse muscle-derived BC3H-1 receptor, and the other site (alpha/gamma site) on nicotinic receptors from Torpedo californica electric organ.
