Alpha-elapitoxin-Aa2a

UniProtKB accession:  P86522

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Binds to muscular nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) and inhibits acetylcholine from binding to the receptor, thereby potently impairing neuromuscular transmission. Pseudo-irreversibly inhibits the nAChR through competitive antagonism. In contrast to other long-chain alpha-neurotoxins, lacks affinity for neuronal alpha-7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor.
