| Title |
A-superfamily of conotoxins: structural and functional divergence |
| Date |
2004-02-03 |
| Description |
The generation of functional novelty in proteins encoded by a gene superfamily is seldom well documented. In this report, we define the A-conotoxin superfamily, which is widely expressed in venoms of the predatory cone snails (Conus), and show how gene products that diverge considerably in structure and function have arisen within the same superfamily. |
