Vibrio cholerae serotype O1 CTXB, His Tag on SDS-PAGE under reducing (R) condition. The gel was stained overnight with Coomassie Blue. The purity of the protein is greater than 90%.
- BackgroundCholera enterotoxin subunit B (CTXB) is also known as cholera enterotoxin B chain, cholera enterotoxin gamma chain and choleragenoid. Vibrio cholerae O1 exists as two major serotypes, Inaba and Ogawa, which are associated with the O antigen of the lipopolysaccharide and are capable of unequal reciprocal interconversion. The B subunit pentameric ring directs the A subunit to its target by binding to the GM1 gangliosides present on the surface of the intestinal epithelial cells. CTXB can bind five GM1 gangliosides. Also, it has no toxic activity by itself.
