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.
