Glycerotoxin from Glycera convoluta stimulates neurosecretion by up-regulating N-type Ca(2+) channel activity

We report here the purification of glycerotoxin from the venom of Glycera convoluta, a novel 320 kDa protein capable of reversibly stimulating spontaneous and evoked neurotransmitter release at the frog neuromuscular junction. However, glycerotoxin is ineffective at the murine neuromuscular junction...
