Cholera toxin (choleragen) (Synonyms: Choleragen，CT) |
| Catalog No.GC31655 |
Cholera toxin (choleragen) (Choleragen), an AB(5)-subunit toxin, enters host cells by binding the ganglioside GM1 at the plasma membrane (PM) and travels retrograde through the trans-Golgi Network into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).

Cholera toxin (choleragen) is an enterotoxogenic protein complex consisting of a single A subunit (cholera toxin A subunit (CTA)) and a pentamer of B subunits (cholera toxin B subunit (CTB)). It enters the host cell by binding to ganglioside GM1 on the plasma membrane and retrograde into the endoplasmic reticulum via the trans-Golgi network[1-3].
Cholera toxin(0.5ug/ml;3h) treatment of Jurkat cells for 3 h caused a nearly total disappearence of the TcR complex from teh surface of the cell[4,5]. Cholera toxin enters host intestinal epithelia cells, and its retrograde transport to the cytosol results in the massive loss of fluids and electrolytes associated with severe dehydration[6]. Cholera toxin activates adenylate cyclase by catalyzing ADP-ribosylation of Gs alpha, the stimulatory guanine nucleotide-binding protein[7].
