Description
α-Conotoxin AuIA is a peptidyl toxin composed of 16 amino acids and is classified under the neuronal α 4/7 subfamily of α-conotoxins that can be isolated from Conus aulicus. The toxin is selective and potently inhibits the α3β4 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) channel. This specificity makes it a valuable tool for probing the physiology of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors and exploring potential therapeutic applications.
