Crystal structure of engineered Naja Nigricollis toxin alpha

Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 20804768

Function

[NXS1_NAJPA] Binds with high affinity to muscular nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), and with low affinity to neuronal alpha-7 nAChRs. Produces peripheral paralysis by blocking neuromuscular transmission at the postsynaptic site.[1]
