Biological activity |
α-conotoxin MI is a competitive antagonist of the muscle-type nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR). It blocks mammalian nAChR composed of alpha-1/delta subunits with high potency and alpha-1/gamma with a low potency, allowing to distinguish between the two agonist sites as it binds 10,000-fold more tightly to the α/δ than to the α/γ site. |
