Article Synopsis
- Venoms from marine cone snails are important for biomedical research due to their neuropeptides known as conotoxins, which have various applications.
- Some gastropods have developed similar venom-producing glands, particularly within the genus being studied, leading to the production of complex venoms termed vexitoxins.
- Research shows that vexitoxins share similarities with conotoxins in structure and function, suggesting a closer evolutionary relationship and offering insights into the evolution of venoms in these species.
