Bioactivity
Batrachotoxin (BTX), a potent neurotoxin and cardiotoxin, is found in the skin of the Colombian dart frog (Phyllobates aurotaenia) . As an activator of sodium channels (sodium channel), it interferes with normal sodium channel closure by binding to voltage-gated sodium channels (sodium channel) on the cell membrane. This interaction causes a continuous influx of sodium ions into the cells, leading to persistent depolarization.
