Research Information

Botulinum Toxin Type A is a 150 kDa neurotoxin protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. It consists of a 100 kDa heavy chain and a 50 kDa light chain linked by a disulfide bond.

The toxin functions as a zinc-dependent endopeptidase that specifically cleaves SNAP-25, a SNARE protein essential for synaptic vesicle fusion and neurotransmitter release. Published research has extensively characterized its mechanism at the neuromuscular junction.
