General Description

Botulinum toxin type C is a neurotoxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. It is one of the seven types of botulinum toxins and is known for its ability to cause botulism, a severe and potentially life-threatening form of food poisoning. Botulinum toxin type C acts by blocking the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for muscle contraction, leading to muscle paralysis. This toxin has been utilized in medical treatments, particularly in the form of botulinum toxin injections, to temporarily relax muscles and reduce the appearance of wrinkles, as well as to treat conditions such as excessive sweating, migraines, and muscle spasticity. However, it is also considered a potential bioterrorism threat due to its high toxicity and ease of dissemination. Therefore, strict regulations are in place for the manufacture, handling, and storage of botulinum toxin type C.
