Abstract
⺠We purify, characterize and clone an alpha neurotoxin from Micrurus laticollaris coral snake. ⺠MlatA1 antagonizes muscular and neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor. ⺠Antibodies against native toxin recognize similar proteins in some Micrurus venoms. ⺠Recombinant toxin was devoid of toxic activity.
