Toxinology of Marine Venomous Snails
Iranian South Medical Journal, 2021 A surprisingly large number of sea snail species are venomous. Cone snail venoms are produced in a lengthy tubular duct from a complex venom gland and form a cocktail of many toxins, particularly conotoxins which have high potency and specificity for ...
