Abstract
Sea anemones produce toxins such as hemolysins, neurotoxins and other enzymes that induce various effects such as cardiotoxicity, dermatitis, itching, local swelling, erythema, paralysis, pain and necrosis. Some toxins isolated from Anemonia, Stichodactyla, Anthopleura and Bunodosoma sea anemone genera are active on ion channels and receptors, acting on the central nervous system and on immune-mediated responses. Thus, sea anemones are promising sources of molecular models of medical-scientific interest, but the possible action of their toxins on the mammalian genome has not yet been reported.
