6A90, 6A91, 6A95 - PubMed Abstract: 
Animal toxins that modulate the activity of voltage-gated sodium (Na v ) channels are broadly divided into two categories-pore blockers and gating modifiers. The pore blockers tetrodotoxin (TTX) and saxitoxin (STX) are responsible for puffer fish and shellfish poisoning in humans, respectively ...
