Cat#:PA-157F;Product Name:Rabbit Anti-Tetrodotoxin Antibody;Synonym:Tetrodotoxin; citratodetetrodotoxina; TTX; zombie powder; tetrodotoxin, citrate(1:1)(salt); Citrato de tetrodotoxina [spanish]; tetrodox； tetrodotoxin,citrate(1:1)(salt); TETRODOTOXIN CITRATE;Background:Tetrodotoxin, also known as tetrodox and frequently abbreviated as TTX, sometimes colloquially referred to as zombie powder by those who practice Vodou, is a potent neurotoxin with no known antidote. There have been successful tests of a possible antidote in mice, but further tests must be carried out to determine efficacy in humans Tetrodotoxin blocks action potentials in nerves by binding to the voltage-gated, fast sodium channels in nerve cell membranes, essentially preventing any affected nerve cells from firing by blocking the channels used in the process. The binding site of this toxin is located at the pore opening of the voltage-gated Na+ channel. Its name derives from Tetraodontiformes, the name of the order that includes the pufferfish, porcupinefish, ocean sunfish or mola, and triggerfish, several species of which carry the toxin. Although tetrodotoxin was discovered in these fish and found in several other animals (e.g., blue-ringed octopus, rough-skinned newt and Naticidae it is actually produced by certain symbiotic bacteria, such as Pseudoalteromonas tetraodonis, certain species of Pseudomonas and Vibrio, as well as some others that reside within these animals.;Description:Rabbit Anti-Tetrodotoxin Polyclonal Antibody;Formulation:Liquid Solution;Host Species:Rabbit;Species Reactivity:Mouse;Isotype:Ig G;Application:ELISA;Storage:Store antibody products at 2-8°C.
