Target Details

Target: Botulinum C3 Enzyme

Background: This product was highly purified from the supernatant of the culture of Clostridium botulinum type C by cation exchange, hydroxyapatite and gel filtration columns. This toxin ADP-ribosylates Rho and Rac, which are low-molecular weight GTP-binding proteins of animal cells, and interrupts the downstream signal transduction pathways. The molecular weight is 24 kDa.
