Tau conotoxin CnVA

Tau conotoxin CnVA, a small peptide found in the venom of Conus consors (cone snail), is a member of the T1 cone snail peptide superfamily. It demonstrates high selectivity for the somatostatin sst3 receptor with a Ki value of 1.5 µM. Tau conotoxin CnVA is unique as the only known toxin interacting with this subfamily of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) . This compound is useful for research related to diseases associated with the sst3 receptor, such as pancreatic cancer or pituitary adenomas.
