| Description | Con-Ins Im2 (Insulin 2) [Cleaved into- Con-Ins I2 B chain; Con-Ins I2 A chain] |
| Organism | Conus imperialis |
| Txonomy | Eukaryota; Opisthokonta; Metazoa; Eumetazoa; Bilateria; Protostomia; Spiralia; Lophotrochozoa; Mollusca; Gastropoda; Caenogastropoda; Neogastropoda; Conoidea; Conidae (cone shells); Conus; Stephanoconus; Conus imperialis (Imperial cone) |
| Subcellular Location | Secreted |
| Developmental Stage | NA |
| Similarity | Belongs to the insulin family. |
| Tissue Specificity | Expressed by the venom gland. |
| Post Translational Modification | NA |
| Function | This venom insulin facilitates prey capture by rapidly inducing hypoglycemic shock. Intraperitoneal injection of this peptide into zebrafish lowers blood glucose with the same potency than human insulin. In vivo; when applied to water; this peptide reduces overall locomotor activity of zebrafish larvae; observed as a significant decrease in the percentage of time spent swimming and movement frequency. |
