New Three-Finger Protein from Starfish <i>Asteria rubens</i> Shares Structure and Pharmacology with Human Brain Neuromodulator Lynx2
Three-finger proteins (TFPs) are small proteins with characteristic three-finger β-structural fold stabilized by the system of conserved disulfide bonds. These proteins have been found in organisms from different taxonomic groups and perform various important regulatory functions or act as component...
