Description
μ-Conotoxin BuIIIA is a marine toxin isolated from the venom of the cone snail Conus bullatus. This natural peptide has been recognized for its potent ability to block voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs) in nerve cells, which are crucial for nerve impulse transmission. The specificity and high affinity of μ-conotoxin BuIIIA for particular sodium channel subtypes make it a valuable tool in neurophysiological research. It is often used in the study of neurological diseases.
