Research Abstract |
The screening of peptide toxins with activity against freshwater crab were performed on various sea anemones. We have successfully isolated and analyzed the primary structure of 9 peptide toxins from 3 species of sea anemones. Interestingly, 6 peptide toxins were isolated from the deep-sea anemone which is eaten as food in the coast of Oki islands, and the chemical structure of 5 peptide toxins of them were completely differ from the known toxins have been isolated from sea anemones. This suggests that novel peptide toxins exist in deep-sea anemones more widely than expected.
