VxXXC (P01684) Protein Card

General Information
Name VxXXC
Alternative name(s) VxXIIC
Organism Conus vexillum
Organism region Indo-Pacific
Organism diet vermivorous
Protein Type Wild type
Notes Framework: This framework was assigned to be XII on discovery of VxXXA , VxXXB and VxXXC (previously named VxXIIA, VxXIIB and VxXIIC respectively) 2006, which also had been used for conotoxins from the I superfamily (Brown et al. 2005). Loughnan et al. now propose framework designation XX (see reference).

Dimers: Mature D superfamily peptides form hetero-, homo- and pseudohomodimers (identical sequence, different posttranslational modifications). Entries for mature peptides in ConoServer are for monomers.

The swiss-prot card describes positions 10, 21 and 29 as being hydroxyprolines which is in contradiction with Loughnan et al 2006.

The superfamily assignment is based on the strong homology with VxXXA and VxXXB.
