Sea anemones are a rich source of two classes of peptide toxins, sodium channel toxins and
potassium channel toxins, which have been or will be useful tools for studying the structure …

This article provides a brief overview of the literature related to the chemical ecology of sea
anemones, focusing on their venom, and summarizing their bioprospecting potential. Sea …

Voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs) are considered to be one of the most important ion
channels given their remarkable physiological role. VGSCs constitute a family of large …

Sea anemone toxins are predominantly peptide and proteins that act mainly on sodium and
potassium channels, as well as in a variety of target cells causing lysis. Over recent years …

In contrast to the many studies on the venoms of scorpions, spiders, snakes and cone snails,
up to now there has been no report of the proteomic analysis of sea anemones venoms. In …
