Function

Tetanus toxin acts by inhibiting neurotransmitter release. It binds to peripheral neuronal synapses, is internalized and moves by retrograde transport up the axon into the spinal cord where it can move between postsynaptic and presynaptic neurons. It inhibits neurotransmitter release by acting as a zinc endopeptidase that catalyzes the hydrolysis of the '76-Gln-|-Phe-77' bond of synaptobrevin-2.

Product Specifications

Recombinant Clostridium tetani Tetanus toxin (tetX), partial is a recombinant protein from Clostridium tetani (strain Massachusetts / E88), expressed in E.coli, covering amino acids 1-864aa, with N-terminal 10xHis-tagged tag, molecular weight 105.1kDa, purity Greater than 90% as determined by SDS-PAGE..

Subunit

The precursor polypeptide is subsequently cleaved to yield subchains L and H. These remain linked by a disulfide bridge and are non-toxic after separation
