== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/CTA1A_CONMR CTA1A_CONMR] Chi-conotoxins inhibit the neuronal noradrenaline transporter (NET/SLC6A2) (PubMed:11528421, PubMed:12837768, PubMed:12885787, PubMed:16154696). Activity has been described on both human (inhibition of norepinephrine uptake is IC(50)=1.26 uM) and rat (pIC(50)=6.21 corresponding IC(50)=0.16 uM) transporters (PubMed:11528421, PubMed:12885787). Acts as a reversible non-competitive inhibitor (PubMed:11528421).<ref>PMID:11528421</ref> <ref>PMID:12837768</ref> <ref>PMID:12885787</ref> <ref>PMID:16154696</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Conotoxins, disulfide-rich peptides from the venom of cone snails, have created much excitement over recent years due to their potency and specificity for ion channels and their therapeutic potential. One recently identified conotoxin, MrIA, a 13-residue member of the chi-conotoxin family, inhibits the human norepinephrine transporter (NET) and has potential applications in the treatment of pain. In the current study, we show that the beta-hairpin structure of native MrIA is retained in a synthetic cyclic version, as is biological activity at the NET. Furthermore, the cyclic version has increased resistance to trypsin digestion relative to the native peptide, an intriguing result because the cleavage site for the trypsin is not close to the cyclization site. The use of peptides as drugs is generally hampered by susceptibility to proteolysis, and so, the increase in enzymatic stability against trypsin observed in the current study may be useful in improving the therapeutic potential of MrIA. Furthermore, the structure reported here for cyclic MrIA represents a new topology among a growing number of circular disulfide-rich peptides.
