摘要 The voltage-gated sodium channel(Na v)is widely present in mammals and can generate cell action potentials,which are related to many diseases.Theμ-Conotoxins(μ-CTx)isolated from the venom of cone snails can specifically block the voltage-gated sodium channel;it can be widely used as a necessary probe to distinguish the Na v channel subtypes.In this study,the effects of eightμ-CTx on different Na v channel isoforms were reviewed,and sequence alignment and protein homologous modeling were used to predict their biological activities,and the structure-activity relationship betweenμ-CTx and mutagenesis strategies.
