In molecular biology the sea anemone cytotoxic proteins are lethal pore-forming peptides and proteins known collectively as cytolysins or actinoporins. There are several different groups of cytolysins based on their structure and function. This entry represents the most numerous group the 20kDa highly basic peptides. These cytolysins form cation-selective pores in sphingomyelin-containing membranes.
