There are more than 100 species of cone snails in China, mainly distributed in my country's Xisha Islands, Hainan Island and Taiwan waters. Cono snail polypeptides are secreted by the venom glands of the cone snail venom tube and the inner wall of the poison sac. The venom of each cone snail contains 50-200 active peptides. Different species of cone snails contain different active peptides. Even the same species of taro Due to different sea areas of snails, there may also be differences in their toxin components. It is theoretically estimated that there are more than 50,000 polypeptides with different activities (McIntosh, J.M., Jones, R.M. (2001). Conevenom-from accidental stings to deliberate injection.
