List Biological Laboratories Inc Cholera Toxin B Subunit (Choleragenoid) from Vibrio cholerae in Low Salt, 0.5 mg

Since 1978, List Labs products are unsurpassed in quality, consistency, and reliability for the success of your research and development project! Cholera toxin is an oligomeric protein of 84 kDa size, consisting 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. 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 is frequently used for the study of signal transduction mechanisms. The cholera toxin B subunit alone is used for track tracing in neurological research, taking advantage of GM1 ganglioside binding and retrograde transport. Cholera toxin B subunit is isolated from Vibrio cholerae type Inaba 569B and purified from endotoxin.
