Difference between Ciguatoxin and Neurotoxin

Ciguatoxin vs. Neurotoxin

Chemical structure of the ciguatoxin '''CTX1B''' Ciguatoxins are a class of toxic polycyclic polyethers found in fish that cause ciguatera. Neurotoxins are toxins that are poisonous or destructive to nerve tissue (causing neurotoxicity).

Similarities between Ciguatoxin and Neurotoxin

Ciguatoxin and Neurotoxin have 5 things in common (in Unionpedia): Depolarization, Nervous system, Sodium channel, Synapse, Tetrodotoxin.

Depolarization

In biology, depolarization is a change within a cell, during which the cell undergoes a shift in electric charge distribution, resulting in less negative charge inside the cell.

Nervous system

The nervous system is the part of an animal that coordinates its actions by transmitting signals to and from different parts of its body.

Sodium channel

Sodium channels are integral membrane proteins that form ion channels, conducting sodium ions (Na+) through a cell's plasma membrane.

Synapse

In the nervous system, a synapse is a structure that permits a neuron (or nerve cell) to pass an electrical or chemical signal to another neuron or to the target efferent cell.
