Bactridines
Bactridines are a group of six antibacterial peptides from the venom of the ''Tityus'' ''discrepans'' scorpion. They exclusively target sodium channels.〔Díaz, P., D'Suze, G., Salazar, V., Sevcik, C., Shannon, J. D., Sherman, N. E., & Fox, J. W. (2009). Antibacterial activity of six novel peptides from Tityus Discrepans scorpion venom. A fluorescent probe study of microbial membrane Na+ permeability changes. Toxicon, 54, 802-817. (doi: 10.1016/j.toxicon.2009.06.014 )〕 Bactridines are unique in that this scorpion toxin acts on sodium channels of both bacteria and eukaryotes.〔〔Forsyth, P., Sevcik, C., Martínez, R., Castillo, C., & D'Suze, G. (2012). Bactridines effect on DUM cricket neurons under voltage clamp conditions. Journal of Insect Physiology, 58, 1676-1685. (doi: 10.1016/j.jinsphys.2012.10.009 )〕 ==Etymology== The name bactridine is derived from the fact that these toxins not only help scorpions to kill their preys but also protect their bodies from harmful pathogens by inhibiting bacteria growth. In captivity, scorpions spray the toxin over their own bodies which suggest that they use the toxin for protection or cleansing.〔
