Prey-specific toxins provide broad venom activity in cephalopods

2026-02-04

Abstract excerpt

Cephalopods are among the ocean’s most sophisticated predators that use camouflage, complex behaviors, and venom to subdue a wide range of prey. However, the functional role of venom across diverse prey remains poorly understood, particularly whether cephalopods deploy venom to capture fish. Through comprehensive transcriptomic profiling of venom glands, we identify toxins with molecular signatures of prey-specifi...
