µ-Conotoxins Modulating Sodium Currents in Pain Perception and Transmission: A Therapeutic Potential
The Conus genus includes around 500 species of marine mollusks with a peculiar production of venomous peptides known as conotoxins (CTX). Each species is able to produce up to 200 different biological active peptides. Common structure of CTX is the low number of amino acids stabilized by disulfide b...
