Target type: molecularfunction
Enables the transfer of a toxin from one side of a membrane to the other. A toxin is a poisonous compound (typically a protein) that is produced by cells or organisms and that can cause disease when introduced into the body or tissues of an organism. [ISBN:0198506732]
Toxin transmembrane transporter activity is a molecular function that describes the ability of a protein to facilitate the movement of toxins across cell membranes. Toxins are substances that are harmful to living organisms, and their transport across membranes is crucial for their ability to exert their toxic effects.
Transmembrane transporters are proteins that span the cell membrane and create pathways for the passage of specific molecules. Toxin transmembrane transporters specifically recognize and bind to toxins, facilitating their movement from one side of the membrane to the other. This process can be passive, driven by the concentration gradient of the toxin, or active, requiring energy input to move the toxin against its concentration gradient.
The mechanisms by which toxin transmembrane transporters facilitate toxin transport vary depending on the specific transporter and toxin. Some transporters utilize a conformational change to shuttle the toxin across the membrane, while others form channels through which the toxin can pass.
The activity of toxin transmembrane transporters plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of many diseases, including bacterial infections, poisoning, and cancer. For example, bacterial toxins can exploit these transporters to gain entry into host cells, where they can cause damage and disease. Similarly, toxins produced by cancer cells can utilize these transporters to spread to other parts of the body, promoting tumor growth and metastasis.
Understanding the molecular function of toxin transmembrane transporter activity is therefore crucial for developing strategies to combat these diseases. By targeting these transporters, scientists can develop new therapies that prevent toxins from entering cells or that block their transport across membranes.'

The FDA has approved naltrexone for the treatment of alcohol dependence. | cyclopropanes; morphinane-like compound; organic heteropentacyclic compound | antidote to opioid poisoning; central nervous system depressant; environmental contaminant; mu-opioid receptor antagonist; xenobiotic |
dextromethorphan | dextromethorphan : A 6-methoxy-11-methyl-1,3,4,9,10,10a-hexahydro-2H-10,4a-(epiminoethano)phenanthrene in which the sterocenters at positions 4a, 10 and 10a have S-configuration. It is a prodrug of dextrorphan and used as an antitussive drug for suppressing cough. Dextromethorphan: Methyl analog of DEXTRORPHAN that shows high affinity binding to several regions of the brain, including the medullary cough center. This compound is an NMDA receptor antagonist (RECEPTORS, N-METHYL-D-ASPARTATE) and acts as a non-competitive channel blocker. It is one of the widely used ANTITUSSIVES, and is also used to study the involvement of glutamate receptors in neurotoxicity. | 6-methoxy-11-methyl-1,3,4,9,10,10a-hexahydro-2H-10,4a-(epiminoethano)phenanthrene | antitussive; environmental contaminant; neurotoxin; NMDA receptor antagonist; oneirogen; prodrug; xenobiotic |
dextrorphan | Dextrorphan: Dextro form of levorphanol. It acts as a noncompetitive NMDA receptor antagonist, among other effects, and has been proposed as a neuroprotective agent. It is also a metabolite of DEXTROMETHORPHAN. | morphinane alkaloid | |

ent-dextilidine | ent-dextilidine : An ethyl 2-(dimethylamino)-1-phenylcyclohex-3-ene-1-carboxylate that has R configuration at the carbon bearing the phenyl group and S configuration at the carbon bearing the dimethylamino group. It is the enantiomer of dextilidine; the opioid analgesic tilidine is the racemate comprising equimolar amounts of dextilidine and ent-dextilidine. tilidine : A racemate that is an equimolar mixture of the two trans diastereoisomers of ethyl 2-(dimethylamino)-1-phenylcyclohex-3-ene-1-carboxylate, namely dextilidine and ent-dextilidine. It is used (commonly as the hydrochloride hemihydrate) as an opioid analgesic for the management of moderate to severe pain. A prodrug, it is metabolised in the body to nortilidine, which is responsible for the analgesic activity; virtually all of the opioid activity resides in the (1S,2R) isomer. Tilidine: An opioid analgesic used similarly to MORPHINE in the control of moderate to severe pain.
