Viperidae snake venoms block nicotinic acetylcholine receptors and voltage-gated Ca2+ channels in identified neurons of fresh-water snail Lymnaea stagnalis

Snake venoms contain a vast array of toxic polypeptide components interacting with a variety of cell targets. Thus, Elapidae snake venoms contain α-neurotoxins with very high affinity for nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) and a few toxins able to suppress the activity of Ca 2+ and K + chann...
