| Title |
New family of Conus peptides targeted to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor |
| Date |
1995 |
| Description |
In this work, a new family of Conus peptides, the αA-conotoxins, which target the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, is defined. The first members of this family have been characterized from the eastern Pacific species, Conus purpurascens (the purple cone); three peptides that cause paralysis in fish were purified and characterized from milked venom. |
