| Cholera toxin is an oligomeric protein of MW 84kD and consists of a single A subunit surrounded by five B subunits. It is a potent activator of adenylate cyclase and is the pathogenic agent responsible for the symptoms of cholera. The B subunit (choleragenoid) is responsible for the binding of the holotoxin to G M1 ganglioside receptors on mammalian cell surfaces and facilitates entrance of the A subunit into the cell. The A subunit bears the ADP-ribosyl-transferase activity, which deregulates the G sprotein causing activation of adenylate cyclase. Due to the ubiquitous occurrence of the GM1 ganglioside receptor on eukaryotic cell membranes, cholera toxin activates adenylate cyclase in a wide variety of systems. | | | Cholera toxin has become a powerful research tool not only in microbiology, but in the fields of physiology, cell biology and biochemistry, as well. Because of the effect on adenylate cyclase, cholera toxin and its purified A subunit are frequently used for the study of signal transduction mechanisms. In addition, cholera toxin acts as an adjuvant through the stimulation of B-lymphocytes. The cholera toxin B subunit alone is used for track tracing in neurological research, taking advantage of GM1 ganglioside binding and retrograde transport. | | | Catalog # | C4275-35J | | Applications | Suitable for use in ELISA and Immunohistochemistry.
