TTX is found in a variety of animals and is often used as a defense against predation. Puffer fish-a delicacy in Japanese cuisine-a well-known cause of accidental, sometimes fatal. TTX food poisoning in humans. A single newt killed three hunters after it got into their coffee pot. As the newt was boiled over the campfire, a substance on its skin-called tetrodotoxin (TTX)-contaminated the water to make a lethal brew . The newt's body was not eaten-- the campers simply drank water in which it was boiled. Cells use the sodium electrical gradient to perform many activities. What membrane protein is used to establish the sodium electrochemical gradient and how does it work?
