Isolation and partial purification of a hemolytic sphingomyelin-inhibitable fraction from the sea anemone Anthopleura nigrescens

Actinoporins are highly hemolytic pore-forming proteins with a molecular mass of around 20 kDa and high affinity for sphingomyelin-containing membranes. On the crude extract of the sea anemone Anthopleura nigrescens, hemolytic activity (HA) was detected. In order to identify the presence of pore-for...
