Effects of okadaic acid indicate a role for dephosphorylation in pancreatic stimulus-secretion coupling [PDF]
Okadaic acid completely inhibits phosphatase 2A at nanomolar concentrations, while complete inhibition of type 1 phosphatases occurs at 1 microM. Phosphatase 2B is significantly inhibited only at concentrations > 1 microM.

The inhibitory effects of okadaic acid on platelet function [PDF]
Okadaic acid (OA), a potent inhibitor of protein phosphatases type 1 and type 2A, inhibited thrombin‐induced platelet aggregation (IC50 = 0.8 μM), [14C]serotonin release and increase in intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) in the same dose dependence. In the absence of thrombin OA increased the phosphorylation of 50‐kDa protein and 20‐kDa myosin light chain ...

Love wave biosensor for real-time detection of okadaic acid as DSP phycotoxin [PDF]
Love wave acoustic delay lines were used as sensors for okadaic acid immuno-detection through immobilized specific antibodies. Anti-okadaic acid antibodies were grafted onto the sensor surface.

Determination of Lipophilic Marine Biotoxins in Mussels Harvested from the Adriatic Sea by LC-MS/MS
Lipophilic marine biotoxins include okadaic acid, pectenotoxin, yessotoxin and azaspiracid groups. The consumption of contaminated molluscs can lead to acute food poisoning syndromes depending on the exposure level.

Transformation of a marine toxic polyether, okadaic acid. [PDF]
Natural okadaic acid 1 was transformed into the 7, 24, 27-tri-0-benzyl-l, 2-acetonide derivative (4) in a 66% overall yidd. The corresponding synthetic derivative (4) was identified with this authentic sample.

Specific binding of okadaic acid, a new tumor promoter in mouse skin [PDF]
The tumor promoter okadaic acid binds specifically to a particulate as well as a cytosolic fraction of various mouse tissues, e.g., skin, brain, lung and colon.

Dinophysis Toxins: Distribution, Fate in Shellfish and Impacts
Several planktonic dinoflagellate species of the genus Dinophysis produce one or two groups of lipophilic toxins: (i) okadaic acid (OA) and its derivatives, the dinophysistoxins (DTXs), and (ii) pectenotoxins (PTXs) [...]
