Molecular physiology of pumiliotoxin sequestration in a poison frog

2020-11-05

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Poison frogs bioaccumulate alkaloids for chemical defense from their arthropod diet. Although many alkaloids are accumulated without modification, some poison frog species can metabolize pumiliotoxin (PTX 251D ) into the more potent allopumiliotoxin (aPTX 267A ). Despite extensive research characterizing the chemical arsenal of poison frogs, the physiological mechanisms involved in the sequest...
