Description: Catalyzes ADP-ribosylation of Gi, Go and Gt
Biological Activity for Pertussis Toxin
Pertussis Toxin is a bacterial toxin that catalyzes ADP-ribosylation of G-proteins Gi, Go and Gt. Impairs G protein heterotrimer interaction with receptors, blocking receptor coupling. Pertussis Toxin protects against ischemic stroke in a mouse model of permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion. Pertussis Toxin inhibits microglia migration to the spinal cord and prevents dissemination of disease in an experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis mouse model.

Pertussis toxin impacts GABA-A receptor effects.
By
Anonymous on 07/21/2019
Assay Type: In Vitro
Species: Rat
Pertussis toxin (PeTX) was used to compare effects of PKA and G-protein signalling on root mean square noise (RMS) produced by GABA-A receptors in electrophysiological recording. We found that after block of G-protein signalling with PeTX GABA-A receptor antagonists SR 95531 and Picrotoxin generate smaller impact on RMS noise than after block of PKA with PKI.
Pertussis Toxin inhibits LPA induced COX-2 expression in osteosarcoma cells.
By
Christopher Trummer on 10/23/2018
Assay Type: In Vitro
Species: Human
Cell Line/Tissue: Osteosarcoma
MG-63 cells were treated with LPA (10 µM) alone or in combination with C3 (20 µM), PTX (Pertussis Toxin, 400 ng/ml) or H2L 5765834 (20 µM) for 3 h to follow COX-2 expression using Western blot. Pertussis Toxin inhibited COX-2 expression induced by LPA.
