Proteomic Analysis of the Venom of Jellyfishes Rhopilema esculentum and Sanderia malayensis
Marine Drugs, 2020 Venomics, the study of biological venoms, could potentially provide a new source of therapeutic compounds, yet information on the venoms from marine organisms, including cnidarians (sea anemones, corals, and jellyfish), is limited.

Structure and evolution of neuronal wiring receptors and ligands
Developmental Dynamics, Volume 252, Issue 1, Page 27-60, January 2023., 2023 Abstract One of the fundamental properties of a neuronal circuit is the map of its connections. The cellular and developmental processes that allow for the growth of axons and dendrites, selection of synaptic targets, and formation of functional synapses use neuronal surface receptors and their interactions with other surface receptors, secreted ...

Ancient Venom Systems: A Review on Cnidaria Toxins
Toxins, 2015 Cnidarians are the oldest extant lineage of venomous animals. Despite their simple anatomy, they are capable of subduing or repelling prey and predator species that are far more complex and recently evolved. Utilizing specialized penetrating nematocysts,

Transcriptomic Analysis of Four Cerianthid (Cnidaria, Ceriantharia) Venoms
Marine Drugs, 2020 Tube anemones, or cerianthids, are a phylogenetically informative group of cnidarians with complex life histories, including a pelagic larval stage and tube-dwelling adult stage, both known to utilize venom in stinging-cell rich tentacles. Cnidarians are

Cnidarian toxins: recent evidences for potential therapeutic uses
The European Zoological Journal, 2020 Marine toxins have received global attention for their involvement in human intoxication. Many marine phyla are well adapted to produce venoms or toxins protect themselves from associated micro fauna, predators and pathogens.

Chironex fleckeri (Box Jellyfish) Venom Proteins [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2014 The box jellyfish Chironex fleckeri produces extremely potent and rapid-acting venom that is harmful to humans and lethal to prey. Here, we describe the characterization of two C. fleckeri venom proteins, CfTX-A (∼40 kDa) and CfTX-B (∼42 kDa), which were isolated from C.
