基本介绍：

霍乱毒素（Cholera toxin，CTX）是霍乱弧菌产生的毒力因子，会引起严重腹泻以及人体脱水。CTX是一种分子量约84kDa的寡蛋白，包含一个A亚基以及包围在周围的5个B亚基构成。CTX是一种有效的腺苷酸环化酶（Adenylate cyclase，AC）活化剂，也是负责霍乱症状的病原物质。霍乱毒素B亚基（a.k.a. 霍乱类毒素choleragenoid）负责全毒素识别并结合到哺乳动物细胞表面的GM1神经节苷脂受体，促进A亚基进入细胞；A亚基承担ADP核糖转移酶（ADP-ribosyl-transferase）活性，此酶能下调Gs蛋白表达并活化AC酶，进而促进cAMP水平提高。A亚基还能ADP核糖基化视杆细胞外节膜盘的转运蛋白，使得GTPase失活。归因于GM1神经节苷脂受体普遍存在于真核细胞膜上，CTX用于各种各样的模型系统中活化腺苷酸环化酶（AC）。CTX还是一种的黏膜疫苗佐剂，通过抑制IL-12生产来诱导2型辅助性T细胞的免疫应答。

生理功能：

霍乱毒素（Cholera toxin，CTX）由霍乱弧菌（Vibrio cholerae）代谢纯化所得，不仅在微生物学是一种强大的研究工具，还普遍用于生理学、细胞生物学和生物化学。常见应用如下：

1）因其对腺苷酸环化酶（AC）的效应，CTX通常用来研究信号转导机制。

2）CTX通过刺激B淋巴细胞活性用作一种佐剂；（与疫苗佐剂的开发有关，CTX有效调节哺乳动物细胞免疫系统，用作一种联合抗原共同注射的佐剂）

3）纯化的霍乱毒素B亚基（Cholera toxin B subunit）用于神经研究方面的神经示踪，利用其GM1 神经节苷脂结合和逆行转运特点。

基本参数：

1）CAS NO：9012-63-9

2）纯度：>95%（When examined by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in a non-denaturing system run at alkaline pH, this protein migrates as a single major band. When examined on SDS-PAGE, all subunits, A, A1, A2, and B, are present. Densitometric analysis estimates the purity as >95%. The 280 to 260 nm ratio of absorbance (R280/260) is 2.

3）内毒素：~5 EU/mg (determined using a kinetic chromogenic LAL assay)

4）生物活性：Hemagglutination activity is assessed with trisialoganglioside fixed sheep red blood cells using a modification of the method described by Sato, et al. This lot met the specification of exhibiting hemagglutination activity at a toxin dilution ≤1.6µg/ml.
