Reduction of Ca2+ current amplitude by the Conus peptide omega-conotoxin-MVIID (omega-CTx-MVIID) was measured in voltage-clamped, goldfish retinal ganglion cells. Effects of depolarizing shifts in holding potential, and sequential applications of omega-CTx-MVIID, omega-CTx-GVIA, and BAY-K-8644, together with effects of Ni2+ and omega-Aga-IIIA, indicated that omega-CTx-MVIID may target Ca2+ channels differing from those termed T, L, N, P < Q and R.
