The Biological Role of Conoporins, Actinoporin-like Pore-Forming Toxins from Cone Snails

The Biological Role of Conoporins, Actinoporin-like Pore-Forming Toxins from Cone Snails

Cone snails are a large group of marine gastropods that produce a complex mixture of toxic compounds to hunt prey and defend against predators. The majority of the venom comprises small toxic peptides named conotoxins, which target membrane receptors. In contrast, a smaller part of the venom contain...
