Primary Structure and Conformation of a Tetrodotoxin-Binding Protein in the Hemolymph of Non-Toxic Shore Crab <i>Hemigrapsus sanguineus</i>

Primary Structure and Conformation of a Tetrodotoxin-Binding Protein in the Hemolymph of Non-Toxic Shore Crab <i>Hemigrapsus sanguineus</i>

Tetrodotoxin (TTX)-binding proteins are present in toxic TTX-bearing animals, such as pufferfish and gastropods. These may prevent autotoxicity. However, TTX-binding proteins are also found in the nontoxic marine shore crab, <i>Hemigrapsus sanguineus</i>. Here, we isolated the TTX-bindin...
