Alpha-conotoxins act on postsynaptic membranes, they bind to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) and thus inhibit them. This toxin binds with high affinity to both fetal (alpha-1/beta-1/epsilon/delta subunits) and adult (alpha-1/beta-1/gamma/delta subunits) mammalian muscle nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR). Expressed by the venom duct. The cysteine framework is IV (CC-C-C-C-C). Belongs to the conotoxin A superfamily.
