What is Botulinum Toxin Type A?
Botulinum Toxin Type A is a neurotoxic protein produced by Clostridium botulinum. It cleaves SNAP-25 in the SNARE complex, blocking acetylcholine release at neuromuscular junctions, causing targeted muscle paralysis. Widely studied in dermal cosmetic and neurological research.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Botulinum Toxin work?
It cleaves SNAP-25 protein in the SNARE complex, preventing synaptic vesicle fusion and acetylcholine release. This blocks neuromuscular transmission, causing temporary muscle relaxation.
