The crystal structures of the calcium-bound con-G and con-T(K7Glu) dimeric peptides demonstrate a novel metal-dependent helix-forming motif

Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 17243678

Function

[CKT_CONTU] Conantokins inhibit N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors. This toxin inhibits both NR2A and NR2B subunits of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor-mediated calcium influx in central nervous system neurons. Induces sleep-like symptoms in young mice and hyperactivity in older mice.^[1]
