Toxicity Profile
Route of ExposureInhalation; Ingestion.
Mechanism of ToxicityBrevetoxins are neurotoxins that bind to voltage-gated sodium channels in nerve cells, leading to disruption of normal neurological processes and causing the illness clinically described as neurotoxic shellfish poisoning (NSP). Brevetoxins bind to site 5 on the alpha-subunit of voltage sensitive sodium channels (VSSCs), which serve as key proteins in the structure of the cell membrane. Pulmonary receptors associated with ligand-gated epithelial Na+ channels and cathepsin inhibition in macrophages have been reported to be effected by brevetoxin exposure. (Wikipedia)

Minimum Risk LevelNot Available
Health EffectsExposure to brevetoxins causes the illness clinically described as neurotoxic shellfish poisoning. Exposure to brevetoxins can cause respiratory irritation that can escalate, in more extreme cases, to more severe airway constriction.
SymptomsThe characteristic symtoms of neurotoxic shellfish poisoning, which is caused by brevetoxins, include parasthesia (tingling), reversal of hot-cold temperature sensation, myalgia (muscle pain), vertigo, ataxia (loss of coordination), abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea, headache, bradycardia (slow heart rate), dilated pupils and as respiratory distress.

Targets

General Function:
Voltage-gated sodium channel activity
Specific Function:
Mediates the voltage-dependent sodium ion permeability of excitable membranes. Assuming opened or closed conformations in response to the voltage difference across the membrane, the protein forms a sodium-selective channel through which Na(+) ions may pass in accordance with their electrochemical gradient.
