Some nemertean species from the genus Cephalothrix accumulate tetrodotoxin (TTX) in extremely high concentrations. The current study is the first to provide high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC–MS/MS) data on tetrodotoxin

Dynamic memory in rodent C‐fibres and its impact on spinal nociceptive processing
Abstract figure legend Nociceptive C‐fibres display activity‐dependent slowing (ADS) whereby successive action potentials are conducted progressively slower thus regulating the temporal relay of pain signals. This study shows that the ADS induced by short stimulus trains (which mimic stimulus evoked firing, shown in orange) is modified by prior ...

Seasonal Changes in the Tetrodotoxin Content of the Flatworm Planocera multitentaculata
Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a potent neurotoxin that acts specifically on voltage-gated sodium channels on excitable membranes of muscle and nerve tissues. The biosynthetic process for TTX is unclear, although marine bacteria are generally thought to be the ...

A potent marine toxin, tetrodotoxin (TTX), found in a great variety of marine and some terrestrial species, leaves intriguing questions about its origin and distribution in marine ecosystems. TTX-producing bacteria were found in the cultivable microflora

The toxic mechanism and application of tetrodotoxin (TTX)
Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a powerful toxin related to nerve cells that is commonly discovered at loads of puffer fish, and working out the best way of cooking, whereas keeping the flavour but getting rid of the toxicity has challenged people for decades, which removing the organ with toxin is currently most certified.

Trafficking and potentiation of Nav1.7 and Nav1.8 channels are mediated by IQGAP1
Abstract figure legend IQGAP1 binds to the voltage‐gated Nav1.7 and Nav1.8 channels and TRPA1 channels in sensory neurons. Inflammatory mediators (IM), including PGE2 and TNFα, released during nerve injury and inflammation activate intracellular signalling messengers such as PKA, p38 MAPK and Cdc42 through their respective receptors.

A novel polyclonal antibody against tetrodotoxin (TTX) was raised using its haptenic antigen, where 4,9-anhydroTTX was reacted with 1,2-ethanedithiol and this derivative was further reacted with keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH).

Impaired Motor Function in a Zebrafish Stathmin‐2 Knockout Model
ABSTRACT Stathmin‐2 (STMN2) is a microtubule‐associated protein that plays a role in the stability of microtubules in axons of the nervous system of animals. In this study, we generated a novel zebrafish STMN2 knockout (KO) model. STMN2 is represented by two genes in the zebrafish genome: stmn2a and stmn2b.

Recent research progress in tetrodotoxin detection and quantitative analysis methods
Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a highly potent and widely distributed ion-channel marine neurotoxin; it has no specific antidote and poses a great risk to human health.

Toxic mechanism and detection methods of tetrodotoxin [PDF]
Tetrodotoxin (TTX) was first isolated in the early 20th century and has significant public health implications, especially in areas where puffer fish are consumed, such as Japan.
