Comparative analyses of glycerotoxin expression unveil a novel structural organization of the bloodworm venom system

BACKGROUND: We present the first molecular characterization of glycerotoxin (GLTx), a potent neurotoxin found in the venom of the bloodworm Glycera tridactyla (Glyceridae, Annelida). Within the animal kingdom, GLTx shows a unique mode of action as it can specifically up-regulate the activity of Ca(v...
