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:0000305|PubMed:10573284}.
CC   -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed by the venom duct.
CC       {ECO:0000305|PubMed:10573284}.
CC   -!- DOMAIN: The cysteine framework is I (CC-C-C). Alpha4/7 pattern.
CC       {ECO:0000305}.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the conotoxin A superfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
