An N‐Terminally Elongated Peptide From Conus rolani Defines a New Class of Ribbon α‐Conotoxins Targeting Muscle nAChRs

The FASEB Journal, Volume 39, Issue 12, 30 June 2025.
α‐RoIA is an atypical N‐terminally elongated conotoxin discovered in Conus rolani. N‐terminal elongation delays activity in vivo; however, this elongation must be removed to block muscle nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). Only the truncated ribbon isoform of RoIA blocks muscle nAChRs.
