RT   cloning of novel toxins.";
RL   Toxicon 49:1135-1149(2007).
CC   -!- FUNCTION: Alpha-conotoxins act on postsynaptic membranes, they bind to
CC       the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) and thus inhibit them.
CC       {ECO:0000250}.
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted {ECO:0000250}.
CC   -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed by the venom duct.
CC   -!- DOMAIN: The cysteine framework is C-C-C. {ECO:0000305}.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the conotoxin A superfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
CC   -!- CAUTION: Could be the product of a pseudogene. {ECO:0000305}.
