α-Conotoxin MI, Blocks α1/δ subunits of postsynaptic nAChR α-conotoxin MI (alpha-conotoxin MI) has been isolated from the venom of the cone snail Conus magus. α-conotoxin MI acts on postsynaptic membranes. It binds onto and blocks nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR). α-conotoxin MI blocks mammalian nAChR composed of α1/δ subunits with high potency and α1/γ with low potency. α-conotoxin MI technical information AA sequence: Gly-Arg-Cys3-Cys4-His-Pro-Ala-Cys8-Gly-Lys-Asn-Tyr-Ser-Cys14-NH2 Disulfide bonds: Cys3-Cys8 and Cys4-Cys14 Length (aa): 14 Formula: C58H88N22O17S4 Molecular Weight: 1495.08 Da Appearance: White lyophilized solid Solubility: water or saline buffer CAS number: [83481-45-2] Source: Synthetic Purity rate: > 97 % http://www.smartox-biotech.com/en/acetylcholine-receptor/135-conotoxin-mi
