Genetic analysis of latrophilin in the toxicity of combined latrotoxins for C. elegans
Black widow spider venom (BWSV) contains high molecular weight proteins called latrotoxins (LTX) that induce catastrophic neurotransmitter release from nerve terminals, and one toxin, α-latrotoxin, is known to bind with high affinity to three neural proteins in mammals, including latrophilin (lat-1)...
