ω-Conotoxin GVIA is a cone snail toxin that selectively blocks N-type channels in neurons [1].
ω-Conotoxin GVIA binds to human neocortical, rat hippocampal, and chick brain synaptic plasma membranes (IC50s = 4.6, 60, and 150 pM, respectively, in radioligand binding assays) [3,4,5].
ω-Conotoxin GVIA markedly reduced the amplitude of the tetanic contractions of the tibialis anterior muscle in mice, but tetanic facilitation was not impaired. The muscle contractions elicited by direct electrical stimulation were not significantly modified by ω-Conotoxin GVIA. ω-Conotoxin GVIA did not had any significant changes in systemic blood pressure [5].

ω-芋螺毒素 GVIA 显着降低了小鼠胫骨前肌的强直收缩幅度,但强直易化作用并未受损。 ω-芋螺毒素 GVIA 未显着改变由直接电刺激引起的肌肉收缩。 ω-芋螺毒素 GVIA 对体循环血压无明显影响[5]。
