CC -!- FUNCTION: This venom insulin, from a fish-hunting cone snail,
CC facilitates prey capture by rapidly inducing hypoglycemic shock
CC (PubMed:30747102). It is one of the smallest known insulin found in
CC nature and lacks the C-terminal segment of the B chain that, in human
CC insulin, mediates engagement of the insulin receptor and assembly of
CC the hormone's hexameric storage form (By similarity). Despite lacking
CC this segment, it both binds and activates human insulin receptor (long
CC isoform (HIR-B)) with a high potency (EC(50)=242 nM) (PubMed:30747102).
CC In vivo, intraperitoneal injection of this peptide into zebrafish
CC lowers blood glucose with a lower potency than human insulin
CC (PubMed:30747102). In addition, when applied to water, this peptide
CC reduces overall locomotor activity of zebrafish larvae, observed as a
CC significant decrease in the percentage of time spent swimming and
CC movement frequency (By similarity). When tested on a mouse model of
CC diabetes, this insulin also lowers blood glucose with a 10-fold lower
CC potency than human insulin (By similarity).
CC {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:A0A0B5AC95, ECO:0000269|PubMed:30747102}.
CC -!- SUBUNIT: Heterodimer of A and B chains; disulfide-linked.
CC {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:A0A0B5AC95}.
CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25605914}.
CC -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed by the venom gland.
CC {ECO:0000305|PubMed:25605914}.
CC -!- PTM: It is noteworthy that in this dimer, in contrast to Con-Ins G1,
CC the chain B is amidated and not the chain A.
CC {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25605914}.
CC -!- MASS SPECTROMETRY: Mass=4817.1; Method=Electrospray; Note=without
CC hydroxyPro and with 3 carboxyglutamate (residues 41, 98 and 109). The
CC measured ranges are 30-51, 93-113.;
CC Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:25605914};
CC -!- MISCELLANEOUS: Venom insulins constitute about 1/25 of the total venom
CC of C.geographus. {ECO:0000305|PubMed:25605914}.
CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the insulin family.
