Tetrodotoxin (TTX) as a Therapeutic Agent for Pain [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2012 Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a potent neurotoxin that blocks voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs). VGSCs play a critical role in neuronal function under both physiological and pathological conditions.

The Chemical and Evolutionary Ecology of Tetrodotoxin (TTX) Toxicity in Terrestrial Vertebrates [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2010 Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is widely distributed in marine taxa, however in terrestrial taxa it is limited to a single class of vertebrates (Amphibia). Tetrodotoxin present in the skin and eggs of TTX-bearing amphibians primarily serves as an antipredator ...

Diversity and Biosynthetic Potential of Culturable Microbes Associated with Toxic Marine Animals [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2013 Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a neurotoxin that has been reported from taxonomically diverse organisms across 14 different phyla. The biogenic origin of tetrodotoxin is still disputed, however, TTX biosynthesis by host-associated bacteria has been reported.

Investigating Diet as the Source of Tetrodotoxin in Pleurobranchaea maculata [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2013 The origin of tetrodotoxin (TTX) is highly debated; researchers have postulated either an endogenous or exogenous source with the host accumulating TTX symbiotically or via food chain transmission.
