Annotation score:4 out of 5

<p>The annotation score provides a heuristic measure of the annotation content of a UniProtKB entry or proteome. This score <strong>cannot</strong> be used as a measure of the accuracy of the annotation as we cannot define the 'correct annotation' for any given protein.<p><a href='/help/annotation_score' target='_top'>More...</a></p>-Experimental evidence at protein leveli <p>This indicates the type of evidence that supports the existence of the protein.

Alpha-conotoxins act on postsynaptic membranes, they bind to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) and thus inhibit them. This toxin acts as a competitive inhibitor and is 3-fold more potent on alpha-7/CHRNA7 nAChRs (IC50=6 nM) than on alpha-3-beta-2/CHRNA3-CHRNB2 nAChR (IC50=18 nM).

Acts as a competitive inhibitor and is 33-fold more potent on alpha-7/CHRNA7 nAChRs (IC50=1.8 nM) than on alpha-3-beta-2/CHRNA3-CHRNB2 nAChR (IC50=60.1 nM).

Miscellaneous

The mutant ArIB[V30L,V35D] is a potent and selective competitive antagonist of rat and human alpha-7/CHRNA7 nAChRs, making it an attractive probe for this receptor subtype.2 Publications

<p>The checksum is a form of redundancy check that is calculated from the sequence. It is useful for tracking sequence updates.</p> <p>It should be noted that while, in theory, two different sequences could have the same checksum value, the likelihood that this would happen is extremely low.</p> <p>However UniProtKB may contain entries with identical sequences in case of multiple genes (paralogs).</p> <p>The checksum is computed as the sequence 64-bit Cyclic Redundancy Check value (CRC64) using the generator polynomial: x<sup>64</sup> + x<sup>4</sup> + x<sup>3</sup> + x + 1.
