Description

Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a neurotoxin used in research models that inhibits neuronal voltage-gated Na+ channels at site 1. TTX can be found in Tetraodontiformes fish such as the puffer fish and ocean sunfish; it exhibits neuromodulatory and analgesic activities. In subjects experiencing cancer pain, TTX decreases reported pain levels. This compound is primarily used to study neuronal transmission and analgesia.
