Produktinformation

• Name: Brevetoxin-3
• Marke: Biosynth
• Beschreibung: Brevetoxin-3 is a potent neurotoxin, which is produced by marine dinoflagellates, specifically from the genus Karenia. It acts by binding to voltage-gated sodium channels on neuronal cells, disrupting normal cellular function by keeping these channels open. This leads to continuous sodium influx, resulting in prolonged depolarization of nerve cells. The modulation of sodium channel activity by brevetoxin-3 is a key factor in the manifestation of neurotoxic effects.
