Tx3a (P02560) Protein Card

General Information
Name Tx3a
Alternative name(s) Tx3.2,TxIIIA
Organism Conus textile (Cloth-of-gold cone)
Organism region Indo-Pacific
Organism diet molluscivorous
Protein Type Wild type
Protein precursor TxIIIA precursor (640)
Notes The Swiss-Prot card states that the C-terminus is partially amidated but Corpuz et al 2005 and Han et al 2006 described a free C-terminal acid. Finally Ueberheide et al. 2009 published the isolation of both form from the same venom.
