Function
MuO-conotoxins are gating-modifier toxins that inhibit sodium current by trapping the domain II voltage sensor in the closed position to prevent opening of the sodium channel. This toxin has a preference for Nav1.4/SCN4A over Nav1.2/SCN2A sodium channels. It blocks Nav channels by interacting mainly with the C-terminal part of the pore loop of domain-3.
Biological Context
