Cholera toxin（Cat No.:M003880）, is a protein complex produced by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae, responsible for causing cholera, a severe diarrheal disease. The toxin consists of multiple subunits and is a major virulence factor. It affects host cells by increasing the levels of cyclic AMP (cAMP), leading to electrolyte imbalances and water loss, resulting in the characteristic severe diarrhea. Cholera toxin has been studied for its role in cellular signaling pathways and has been used as a tool in research to understand mechanisms of signal transduction.
