As a peptide originally discovered from Conus achates by mass spectrometry and cDNA sequencing, Ac6.4 contains 25 amino acid residues and three disulfide bridges. Our previous study found that this peptide possesses 80% similarity to MVIIA by BLAST and that MVIIA is a potent and selective blocker of N-type voltage-sensitive calcium channels in neurons.
