saxitoxin

Saxitoxin has been used in molecular biology to establish the function of the sodium channel.

Saxitoxin, is produced by a dinoflagellate also known as "red tide".

It is known to contain the toxin saxitoxin.

Saxitoxin is the most virulent of these.

One such poison is saxitoxin, a powerful paralytic.

However, the effect of saxitoxin deterrence varied per copepod species.

The toxin, primarily saxitoxin, is likely acquired through food and mostly accumulates in the skin.

Saxitoxin is listed in schedule 1 of the Chemical Weapons Convention.

Saxitoxin is 1,000 times more toxic than the potent nerve gas sarin.

Saxitoxin, the cause of paralytic shellfish poisoning and red tide, can also be found in certain puffers.

The compound saxitoxin is a neurotoxin found in shellfish and a chemical weapon.

Saxitoxin can enter the body via open wounds and a lethal dose of 0.05 mg/person by this route has been suggested.

What makes Alexandrium so dangerous is that it produces saxitoxin, a deadly nerve poison.

Puffer fish and some marine dinoflagellates also produce saxitoxin.

However, the mussel can harbor saxitoxin from consumed dinoflagellates.

Saxitoxin, neosaxitoxin and several of the conotoxins also bind the same site.

Site 1 binds the sodium channel blockers tetrodotoxin and saxitoxin.

Saxitoxin is a neurotoxin that acts as a selective sodium channel blocker.

However, it can harbor deadly Saxitoxin produced by the dinoflagellates that it feeds upon.

Hemiaminal formation is a key step in an asymmetric total synthesis of saxitoxin:

Saxitoxin synthesis is the first non-terpene alkaloid pathway described for bacteria.

No one knows why Alexandrium produces saxitoxin, but the shellfish poisoning it causes has been known to humans for hundreds of years.

The principal toxin responsible for PSP is saxitoxin.

Saxitoxin, a neurotoxin found in marine dinoflagellates.

However no toxins, such as domoic acid, saxitoxin or brevetoxin was detected in the water.
