''Clostridium perfringens'' alpha toxin is a toxin produced by the bacterium ''Clostridium perfringens'' (''C. perfringens'') and is responsible for gas gangrene and myonecrosis in infected tissues. The toxin also possesses hemolytic activity. ==Clinical significance== This toxin has been shown to be the key virulence factor in infection with ''C. perfringens''; the bacterium is unable to cause disease without this toxin. Further, vaccination against the alpha toxin toxoid protects mice against ''C. perfringens'' gas gangrene. As a result, knowledge about the function of this particular protein greatly aids understanding of myonecrosis.
