Description
α-Conotoxin EIIB is a peptide toxin isolated from the the venom of the Atlantic fish cone Conus ermineus. This toxin exhibits a high level of selectivity in binding to neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), a property that makes it an invaluable tool in neuroscience research. The unique binding capabilities of α-conotoxin EIIB enable its use in the study of various neurological conditions, including schizophrenia, drug addiction, Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson's disease.
