+ | [[Bungarotoxin|Bungarotoxins]]. α-Bungarotoxin (α-BGT), β-Bungarotoxin (β-BGT), γ-Bungarotoxin (γ-BGT) and κ-Bungarotoxin (κ-BGT) are snake toxins from banded krait.<br /> | ||
+ | * '''α-BGT''' binds irreversibly to the acetylcholine receptor (AChR) causing paralysis and death. See details in [[Alpha-bungarotoxin]].<br /> | ||
+ | * '''β-BGT''' binds to the presynaptic terminal causing release of acetylcholine.<br /> | ||
+ | * '''γ-BGT''' inhibits the binding of quinoclidinyl bezilate to the M2 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor. <br /> | ||
+ | * '''κ-BGT''' binds weakly to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor. <br /> | ||
