| Title |
Novel conantokins from Conus parius venom are specific antagonists of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors |
| Date |
2007 |
| Description |
We report the discovery and characterization of three conantokin peptides from the venom of Conus parius. Each peptide (conantokin-Pr1, -Pr2, and -Pr3) contains 19 amino acids with three γ-carboxyglutamate (Gla) residues, a post-translationally modified amino acid characteristic of conantokins. The new peptides contain several amino acid residues that differ from previous conantokin consensus sequences. |
