Difference between Gonyautoxin and Saxitoxin

Gonyautoxin vs. Saxitoxin

Gonyautoxins (GTX) are a few similar toxic molecules that are naturally produced by algae. Saxitoxin (STX) is a potent neurotoxin and the best-known paralytic shellfish toxin (PST).

Similarities between Gonyautoxin and Saxitoxin

Gonyautoxin and Saxitoxin have 12 things in common (in Unionpedia): Action potential, Aldehyde, Decarbamoylsaxitoxin, Dinoflagellate, Harmful algal bloom, Mussel, Neosaxitoxin, Nervous system, Neurotoxin, Paralytic shellfish poisoning, Shellfish, Sodium channel.

Action potential

In physiology, an action potential occurs when the membrane potential of a specific axon location rapidly rises and falls: this depolarisation then causes adjacent locations to similarly depolarise.

Aldehyde

An aldehyde or alkanal is an organic compound containing a functional group with the structure −CHO, consisting of a carbonyl center (a carbon double-bonded to oxygen) with the carbon atom also bonded to hydrogen and to an R group, which is any generic alkyl or side chain.

Decarbamoylsaxitoxin

Decarbamoylsaxitoxin, abbreviated as dcSTX, is a neurotoxin which is naturally produced in dinoflagellate.

Dinoflagellate

The dinoflagellates (Greek δῖνος dinos "whirling" and Latin flagellum "whip, scourge") are a large group of flagellate eukaryotes that constitute the phylum Dinoflagellata.

Harmful algal bloom

A harmful algal bloom (HAB) are organisms that can severely lower oxygen levels in natural waters, killing marine life.

Mussel

Mussel is the common name used for members of several families of bivalve molluscs, from saltwater and freshwater habitats.

Neosaxitoxin

Neosaxitoxin (NSTX) is included, as other saxitoxin-analogs, in a broad group of natural neurotoxic alkaloids, commonly known as the paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs).

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.

Neurotoxin

Neurotoxins are toxins that are poisonous or destructive to nerve tissue (causing neurotoxicity).

Paralytic shellfish poisoning

Paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) is one of the four recognized syndromes of shellfish poisoning, which share some common features and are primarily associated with bivalve mollusks (such as mussels, clams, oysters and scallops).

Shellfish

Shellfish is a food source and fisheries term for exoskeleton-bearing aquatic invertebrates used as food, including various species of molluscs, crustaceans, and echinoderms.
