Common NameLyngbyatoxin A(F05229)
2D Structure
Description

Lyngbyatoxin A is a cyanotoxin produced by certain cyanobacteria species, notably <i>Moorea producens</i> (formerly classified as <i>Lyngbya majuscula</i>). It is used as a defensive secretion to protect this cyanobacteria from predation by fish, being a potent irritant and vesicant, as well as a carcinogen. Low concentrations more commonly encountered cause milder symptoms, known as seaweed dermatitis. The toxin is highly inflammatory and vesicatory. It is also a strong tumor promoter through activation of protein kinase C.
