Mu-conotoxins are members of the M-superfamily of disulfide rich conopeptides that share a similar cysteine scaffold (CC-C-C-CC). They are excellent ligands for sodium channels with high binding specificity and are excellent research tools for neuroscience and neuropharmacology. Mu-conotoxins have b...
