Name |
CONANTOKIN-G-1MG |
Molecular formula |
C88H138N26O44 |
Description |
A 17 amino-acids peptide
, synthetic, initially isolated from the venom of the Geographer cone snail Conus geographus.
|
Biological activity |
Conantokin-G selectively inhibits NR2B containing N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDAR) with a high specificity. Induces sleep-like symptoms in young mice and hyperactivity in older mice. |
