<p>The annotation score provides a heuristic measure of the annotation content of a UniProtKB entry or proteome.

Alpha-conotoxins act on postsynaptic membranes, they bind to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) and thus inhibit them. This toxin blocks alpha-3-beta-2/CHRNA3-CHRNB2 nAChR with high selectivity (IC50=8.67 nM (on rat) and 17.5 (on human)) (PubMed:24398291). Has also weaker activity on alpha-6/alpha-3-beta-2-beta-3 (CHRNA6/CHRNA3-CHRNB2-CHRNB3) (IC50=108 nM (on rat)), alpha-6/alpha-3-beta-4 (CHRNA6/CHRNA3-CHRNB4) (IC50=121 nM (on rat)), alpha-3-beta-4 (CHRNA3-CHRNB4) (IC50=148 nM (on rat)), and alpha-7/CHRNA7 nAChRs (IC50=3000 nM (on rat)) (PubMed:24398291). When tested on mouse with hot-plate tests, this toxin significantly increases the base pain threshold and shows analgesic effects (PubMed:26742048).2 Publications

<p>The checksum is a form of redundancy check that is calculated from the sequence. It is useful for tracking sequence updates.</p> <p>It should be noted that while, in theory, two different sequences could have the same checksum value, the likelihood that this would happen is extremely low.</p> <p>However UniProtKB may contain entries with identical sequences in case of multiple genes (paralogs).</p> <p>The checksum is computed as the sequence 64-bit Cyclic Redundancy Check value (CRC64) using the generator polynomial: x<sup>64</sup> + x<sup>4</sup> + x<sup>3</sup> + x + 1. The algorithm is described in the ISO 3309 standard. </p> <p class="publication">Press W.H., Flannery B.P., Teukolsky S.A. and Vetterling W.T.<br /> <strong>Cyclic redundancy and other checksums</strong><br /> <a href="http://www.nrbook.com/b/bookcpdf.php">Numerical recipes in C 2nd ed., pp896-902, Cambridge University Press (1993)</a>)</p> Checksum:iB5501D068E48873C
