Sea Anemones, Actinoporins, and Cholesterol

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022
Spanish or Spanish-speaking scientists represent a remarkably populated group within the scientific community studying pore-forming proteins. Some of these scientists, ourselves included, focus on the study of actinoporins, a fascinating group of metamorphic pore-forming proteins produced within the venom of several sea anemones.

Structural and functional analysis of Hydra Actinoporin-Like Toxin 1 (HALT-1)

Scientific Reports, 2021
Actinoporins are a family of α-pore-forming toxins (α-PFTs) that have been identified in sea anemones. Recently, a freshwater Hydra Actinoporin-Like Toxin (HALT) gene family was found in Hydra magnipapillata.

The Sea Anemone Neurotoxins Modulating Sodium Channels: An Insight at Structure and Functional Activity after Four Decades of Investigation

Toxins, 2022
Many human cardiovascular and neurological disorders (such as ischemia, epileptic seizures, traumatic brain injury, neuropathic pain, etc.) are associated with the abnormal functional activity of voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs/NaVs).

Ectosymbionts of the Sea Anemone Stichodactyla gigantea at Kosrae, Micronesia [PDF]

Animal Systematics, Evolution and Diversity, 2016
We studied the ectosymbionts associating with the sea anemone Stichodactyla gigantea at Kosrae, Micronesia. Ectosymbionts of seven species associated with 60.7% of S. gigantea (n=28), with a mean of 2.4 per anemone and 3.9 per occupied anemone.

Neuro- and Cardiotoxins from Sea Anemones: Structure, Function and Potential of Application in Research and Medical Practice

Вестник войск РХБ защиты, 2023
Sea anemones are well-spread everywhere in the World Ocean and represent the most ancient active poisonous organisms. Their main instrument of attack on other animals are the nematocysts – stinging organelles with the curtailed hollow thread with ...
