Okadaic acid（Cat No.:R040026）is a potent marine toxin produced by certain dinoflagellates. It is primarily known for causing diarrhetic shellfish poisoning (DSP) when consumed through contaminated seafood. Okadaic acid inhibits protein phosphatases PP2A and PP1, disrupting cellular signaling and leading to severe gastrointestinal symptoms. Beyond its toxic effects, it is valuable in biomedical research as a tool for studying cell regulation, apoptosis, and cancer. Its ability to modulate critical enzymes has made it a significant compound in understanding cellular processes and developing potential therapeutic interventions.
