Core Tip |
The three-finger toxins (TFTs) of snake venoms are principal to and the most toxic components of elapid venoms. Over 700 TFT amino acid sequences are listed in the UniProt Knowledgebase currently, with new members added constantly. The past decade has also seen multitudinous new discoveries, including structural variations in TFTs (i.e. disulfide-bound dimers), new types of biological activities for the well-known TFTs (e.g., α-bungarotoxin’s inhibition of ionotropic receptors of γ-aminobutyric acid), and other new, unexpected activities for the TFTs (i.e. interaction with interleukin or insulin receptors and activation of sperm motility). This minireview provides an up-to-date overview of these data. |
