A '''conotoxin''' is one of a group of [[Neurotoxicity|neurotoxic]] [[peptide]]s isolated from the venom of the marine [[cone snail]], genus ''[[Conus]]''.

Conotoxins, which are peptides consisting of 10 to 30 [[amino acid]] residues, typically have one or more [[disulfide bond]]s.  Conotoxins have a variety of mechanisms of actions, most of which have not been determined.  However, it appears that many of these peptides modulate the activity of [[ion channel]]s.<ref name="pmid14715910">{{cite journal | vauthors = Terlau H, Olivera BM | title = Conus venoms: a rich source of novel ion channel-targeted peptides | journal = Physiol.

Over the last few decades conotoxins have been the subject of pharmacological interest.<ref name="pmid17932414">{{cite journal| vauthors=Olivera BM, Teichert RW| title=Diversity of the neurotoxic Conus peptides: a model for concerted pharmacological discovery. | journal=Molecular Interventions | year= 2007 | volume= 7 | issue= 5 | pages= 251–60 | pmid=17932414 | doi=10.1124/mi.7.5.7 | url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17932414  }}</ref>

The [[Median lethal dose|LD<sub>50</sub>]] of conotoxin ranges from 5-25&nbsp;μg/kg.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.aristatek.com/Newsletter/MAY08/TechSpeak.pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=2017-03-31 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170829050422/http://www.aristatek.com/Newsletter/MAY08/TechSpeak.pdf |archive-date=2017-08-29 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Biological Agent Reference Sheet - Conotoxin |url=https://www.ehso.emory.edu/content-guidelines/BARS_Conotoxin.pdf |publisher=Emory University}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Baker |first1=A.L. |url=http://cfb.unh.edu/phycokey/Choices/Toxins/Toxin%20ld50s/toxin%20ld50%20list.htm |website=PhycoKey |title=toxin ld50 list}}</ref>

==Hypervariability==
Conotoxins are hypervariable even within the same species. They do not act within a body where they are produced ([[endogenous]]ly) but act on other organisms.<ref name="pmid22954218">{{cite journal | vauthors = Olivera BM, Watkins M, Bandyopadhyay P, Imperial JS, de la Cotera EP, Aguilar MB, Vera EL, Concepcion GP, Lluisma A | title = Adaptive radiation of venomous marine snail lineages and the accelerated evolution of venom peptide genes | journal = Ann.

==Disulfide connectivities==
Types of conotoxins also differ in the number and pattern of disulfide bonds.<ref name="PUB00016617">{{cite journal |vauthors=Jones RM, McIntosh JM |title=Cone venom--from accidental stings to deliberate injection |journal=Toxicon |volume=39 |issue=10 |pages=1447–1451 |year=2001 |pmid=11478951 |doi=10.1016/S0041-0101(01)00145-3}}</ref> The disulfide bonding network, as well as specific amino acids in inter-cysteine loops, provide the specificity of conotoxins.<ref name="PUB00016622">{{cite journal |vauthors=Sato K, Kini RM, Gopalakrishnakone P, Balaji RA, Ohtake A, Seow KT, Bay BH |title=lambda-conotoxins, a new family of conotoxins with unique disulfide pattern and protein folding.

==Types and biological activities==
The number of conotoxins whose activities have been determined so far is five, and they are called the α(alpha)-, δ(delta)-, κ(kappa)-, μ(mu)-, and ω(omega)- types. Each of the five types of conotoxins attacks a different target:

===Alpha===
Alpha conotoxins have two types of cysteine arrangements,<ref name="PUB00017022">{{cite journal |vauthors=Gray WR, Olivera BM, Zafaralla GC, Ramilo CA, Yoshikami D, Nadasdi L, Hammerland LG, Kristipati R, Ramachandran J, Miljanich G |year=1992 |title=Novel alpha- and omega-conotoxins from Conus striatus venom |journal=Biochemistry |volume=31 |issue=41 |pages=11864–11873 |doi=10.1021/bi00156a009 |pmid=1390774}}</ref> and are competitive nicotinic acetylcholine receptor antagonists.

===Delta, kappa, and omega ===
Omega, delta and kappa families of conotoxins have a knottin or [[inhibitor cystine knot]] scaffold. The knottin scaffold is a very special disulfide-through-disulfide knot, in which the III-VI disulfide bond crosses the macrocycle formed by two other disulfide bonds (I-IV and II-V) and the interconnecting backbone segments, where I-VI indicates the six cysteine residues starting from the N-terminus. The cysteine arrangements are the same for omega, delta and kappa families, even though omega conotoxins are calcium channel blockers, whereas delta conotoxins delay the inactivation of sodium channels, and kappa conotoxins are potassium channel blockers.<ref name="PUB00016617" />
