Anemonefish use sialic acid metabolism as Trojan horse to avoid giant sea anemone stinging [PDF]
BMC BiologyBackground Anemonefish association with sea anemones is a prime example of mutualistic symbiosis. These fish live inside the sea anemone, benefitting from the protection of its toxic nematocysts, and in return, protect the anemone from its own predators.

Molecular tuning of sea anemone stinging. [PDF]
Elife, 2023 Abstract Jellyfish and sea anemones fire single-use, venom-covered barbs to immobilize prey or predators. We previously showed that the anemone Nematostella vectensis uses a specialized voltage-gated calcium (Ca V ) channel to trigger stinging in ...

Effect of Crude Extract from the Sea Anemone Bunodeopsis globulifera on Voltage-Gated Ion Channels from Central and Peripheral Murine Nervous Systems [PDF]
PharmaceuticalsSea anemones are an important source of bioactive compounds with potential pharmacological applications. Their toxins are produced and stored in organelles called nematocysts and act on specific targets, including voltage-gated ion channels. To date, sea

First report of phenoloxidase and peroxidase activities in two intertidal sea anemone species of Argentina [PDF]
Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2014 The presence of immune responses within sea anemone species has received little attention, in comparison with coral species, so we decided to investigate the phenoloxidase and peroxidase activities in ectoderm, endoderm and tentacles of actiniarians ...

Identification, diversity and domain structure analysis of mucin and mucin-like genes in sea anemone Actinia tenebrosa [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Background Mucins are part of the glycoprotein family and the main proteinaceous component of mucus. The sea anemone species, Actinia tenebrosa (Phylum Cnidaria) produce large amounts of mucus, which have not been studied in detail.
