Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors Are Novel Targets of APETx-like Toxins from the Sea Anemone <i>Heteractis magnifica</i>
The nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are prototypical ligand-gated ion channels, provide cholinergic signaling, and are modulated by various venom toxins and drugs in addition to neurotransmitters. Here, four APETx-like toxins, including two new toxins, named Hmg 1b-2 Met<sub>ox</...
