== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/3L21_NAJOX 3L21_NAJOX] Binds with high affinity to muscular (tested on Torpedo marmorata AChR, Kd=0.38 nM) and neuronal (tested on chimeric alpha-7/CHRNA7, Kd=12 nM) nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) and inhibits acetylcholine from binding to the receptor, thereby impairing neuromuscular and neuronal transmission (PubMed:9305882). The toxin also shows a very weak inhibition of GABA(A) receptors composed of alpha-1-beta-3-gamma-2 (GABRA1-GABRB3-GABRG2) subunits (PubMed:26221036).<ref>PMID:26221036</ref> <ref>PMID:9305882</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Neurotoxin-1 from Naja naja oxiana venom (NTX-1) has been crystallized by vapor diffusion in sitting drops. The crystals have cell dimensions of a = 25.2 A, b = 75.6 A, c = 35.9 A, and are in space group P2(1)2(1)2(1). Three-dimensional data to 1.9 A have been recorded by a Syntex P2(1) automatic diffractometer. The atomic structure of the toxin has been determined by molecular replacement using the alpha-cobratoxin (alpha-CTX) as the search model. The position of 534 non-hydrogen protein atoms have been determined. The model contains 65 water molecules. Refinement has led to an R-factor of 19.3% at 1.9 A resolution. The secondary and tertiary structures of NTX-1 have been analyzed and a comparison with structure of the alpha-CTX has been made.
