TIIIA (P01616) Protein Card

General Information
Name TIIIA
Alternative name(s) T3a,Tu072
Organism Conus tulipa (tulip cone)
Organism region Indo-Pacific
Organism diet piscivorous
Protein Type Wild type
Protein precursor TIIIA precursor (8091)
Notes Block tetrodotoxin sensitive (TTX-S) Na channels (Lewis et al 2007). Presumably interacts with site 1 in the Na channel pore, because TIIIA competes with saxitoxin (Lewis et al 2007).
