This toxin potently inhibits the rodent muscle nAChR (IC(50)=120 nM (adult subtype, alpha-1-beta-1-delta-epsilon/CHRNA1-CHRNB1-CHRND-CHRNE) and IC(50)=370 nM (fetal subtype, alpha-1-beta-1-gamma-delta/CHRNA1-CHRNB1-CHRNG-CHRND)) and weakly inhibits neuronal nAChRs (PubMed:35357806). In contrast to alpha-conotoxins bearing 2 disulfide bonds (framework I), this conotoxin acts via a unique binding mode with the helix and the N- and C-termini buried in the binding pocket of muscle nAChRs (PubMed:35357806).
