Preliminary Investigation and Sequence of the Hyaluronidase Gene in the Venom of the Atlantic Sea Nettle (Chrysaora quinquecirrha) [PDF]
Jellyfish cnidocysts contain many different venom proteins, each with unique functions that combine synergistically to achieve a more robust and toxic fluid. One of these proteins is hyaluronidase (EC 3.2.1.35), an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid,

Molecular Cloning and Characterization of a Hemolytic Lectin from Venom of the Stinging Sea Nettle, Chrysaora quinquecirrha [PDF]
I have identified a novel pore-forming toxin (PFT) in the venom of the Sea Nettle (Chrysaora quinquicherra), a protein I have named Chrysaoralin. This protein is discharged from specialized organelles called cnidocysts (nematocysts) found primarily in ...
