Comment: Okadaic acid is a polyketide that was originally isolated from the marine sponges Halichondria okadaii and H. melanodocia, but was subsequently found to originate in marine plankton which are ingested by the sponges (and other bivalve filter-feeders). It is a toxin in humans, being the causative agent of diarrheic seafood poisoning following the ingestion of contaminated shellfish. Naturally occurring congeners of okadaic acid (acanthafolicin and dinophysis toxins 1-4) are equally potent toxins. Okadaic acid and related compounds inhibit human protein phosphatases PP1 and PP2A [1,3].
![]() Ligand Activity Visualisation ChartsThese are box plot that provide a unique visualisation, summarising all the activity data for a ligand taken from ChEMBL and GtoPdb across multiple targets and species. Click on a plot to see the median, interquartile range, low and high data points. A value of zero indicates that no data are available. A separate chart is created for each target, and where possible the algorithm tries to merge ChEMBL and GtoPdb targets by matching them on name and UniProt accession, for each available species. However, please note that inconsistency in naming of targets may lead to data for the same target being reported across multiple charts. ✖ |
