Omega-conotoxin SVIB is a peptide derived from the venom of the Conus snail, specifically Conus striatus. It is classified as a neurotoxin and is known for its ability to selectively block certain types of voltage-gated calcium channels, particularly the N-type calcium channels (Cav2.2). This action inhibits neurotransmitter release, making it a valuable tool in neurobiology for studying synaptic transmission and pain pathways. Omega-conotoxin SVIB is composed of a specific sequence of amino acids that contributes to its structural stability and biological activity. Its unique properties have garnered interest in pharmacological research, particularly for potential applications in pain management and as a model for developing novel analgesics. Additionally, due to its specificity, it serves as a research tool to dissect the roles of calcium channels in various physiological processes. As with many conotoxins, its use requires careful handling due to its potent biological effects.
