Summary:
- Researchers have identified a protein produced by the *Lithobates* frog species that effectively neutralizes saxitoxin, a potent neurotoxin found in harmful algal blooms that causes paralytic shellfish poisoning.
- The protein, known as saxiphilin, is currently being investigated as a potential therapeutic antidote for humans exposed to shellfish toxins, offering a promising approach to treating life-threatening poisoning cases.
