(Syn. : alpha-Conotoxin G1, α-Conotoxin-GI, alpha-conotoxin GIA)
(Syn. : alpha-Conotoxin G1, α-Conotoxin-GI, alpha-conotoxin GIA)
CONOTOXIN GI (alpha-) | Product ID | L8509-500UG |
| Name | CONOTOXIN GI (alpha-) |
| Molecular formula | C55H80N20O18S4 |
| Description |
A 13 amino-acids peptide with 2 disulfide bridges , synthetic, initially isolated from the venom of the Geographer cone snail Conus geographus. |
| Biological activity | α-conotoxin GI is a competitive antagonist of the muscle-type nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR). α-conotoxin GI allows 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 excepted in Torpedo which is the reverse. |
