Abstract excerpt
Remarkable sequence diversity of T-superfamily conotoxins was found in a mollusk-hunting cone snail Conus marmoreus. The sequence of mr5a purified from the snail venom was determined, while six other sequences of Mr5.1a, Mr5.1b, Mr5.2, Mr5.3, Mr5.4a, and Mr5.4b were deduced from their corresponding cDNA cloned by RACE approach. mr5a of 10 amino acid residues is one of the shortest T-superfamily conotoxins ever...
