''Conus tulipa'' is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Conidae, the cone snails and their allies.〔 Like all species within the genus ''Conus'', these snails are predatory and venomous. They are capable of "stinging" humans, therefore live ones should be handled carefully or not at all. A class of conopeptides named rho-TIA was discovered in ''Conus tulipa'' in 2001.〔Sharpe I. A., Gehrmann J., Loughnan M. L., Thomas L., Adams D. A., Atkins A., Palant E., Craik D. J., Adams D. J., Alewood P. F. & Lewis R. J. (September 2001). "Two new classes of conopeptides inhibit the alpha1-adrenoceptor and noradrenaline transporter.". ''Nature Neuroscience'' 4(9): 902-907.〕 This class of conopetides targets (react with) alpha1-adrenergic receptors.〔 ==Description== Conantokin-T is a toxin derived from the venom of ''Conus tulipa''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Conus tulipa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
