UniProt functional annotation for B2KPN7

UniProt code: B2KPN7.

Organism: Conus marmoreus (Marble cone).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Spiralia; Lophotrochozoa; Mollusca; Gastropoda; Caenogastropoda; Neogastropoda; Conoidea; Conidae; Conus; Conus.
 
Function: May act as a neurotoxin.
 
Subcellular location: Secreted {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18355315}.
Tissue specificity: Expressed by the venom duct. {ECO:0000305|PubMed:18355315}.
Ptm: The D-phenylalanine is essential to the structural conformation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18355315}.
Ptm: Since conomarphin is a cysteine-free peptide, hydroxyproline plays a critical role in maintaining a restricted conformation of the peptide.
Miscellaneous: The mature peptide does not contain cysteine residues. {ECO:0000305}.
Miscellaneous: The amino acid sequence of conomarphin is identical to that of C.imperialis Im-conomarphin (AC P0CH39). Their nucleotide sequences are not identical. {ECO:0000305}.
Similarity: Belongs to the conotoxin M superfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
