Sea anemone neurotoxin is the name given to neurotoxins produced by sea anemones with related structure and function.A number of proteins belong to this family including calitoxin and anthopleurin. The neurotoxins bind specifically to the sodium channel thereby delaying its inactivation during signal transduction resulting in strong stimulation of mammalian cardiac muscle contraction.
