 | Olivera, Baldomero M. | Uniquely selective inhibitor of the mammalian fetal neuromuscular nicotinic acetylcholine receptor | We have purified and characterized a novel conotoxin from the venom of Conus obscurus, which has the unique property of selectively and potently inhibiting the fetal form of the mammalian neuromuscular nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) (α1β1γδ-subunits). Although this conotoxin, αA-cono... | Conotoxins; Conus obscurus; Fetal; Muscle; nAChR; Inhibitor; Receptor | 2005-01-19 |

 | Olivera, Baldomero M.; ; McIntosh, J. Michael | α-Conotoxin AuIB selective blocks α3ß4 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors and nicotine-evoked norepinephrine release | Neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) with putative α3ß4-subunits have been implicated in the mediation of signaling in various systems, including ganglionic transmission peripherally and nicotine-evoked neurotransmitter release centrally. However, progress in the characterization of... | Conotoxins; a-Conotoxin AuIB; Norepinephrine release | 1998 |

 | Olivera, Baldomero M.; McIntosh, J. Michael | α-Conotoxin MII blocks nicotine-stimulated dopamine release in rat striatal synaptosomes | Activation of presynaptic nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) can induce the release of neurotransmitters such as dopamine and norepinephrine in the CNS. Accumulating evidence suggests that distinct nAChR subtypes are involved; however, it has been difficult to determine the subunit composit... | Conotoxins; a-Conotoxin MII | 1997 |

 | Olivera, Baldomero M.; Gray, William Robert; Hillyard, David R. | μ-Conotoxin PIIIA, a new peptide for discriminating among tetrodotoxin-sensitive Na channel subtypes | We report the characterization of a new sodium channel blocker, m-conotoxin PIIIA (m-PIIIA). The peptide has been synthesized chemically and its disulfide bridging pattern determined. | Conotoxins; m-Conotoxin PIIIA; Sodium channel blockers | 1998 |
