title: A toxic extract from sea urchin (T. pileolus) inhibits 45Ca2+ uptake in P2 fraction from chick brain under physiological ionic conditions.
abstract: An acidic toxic extract from the sea urchin T. pileolus inhibited time-dependent 45Ca2+ uptake in chick P2 fraction (IC50 about 10 ng/ml). This toxic extract is susceptible to trypsin. The inhibitory effect probably relate to Na+/Ca2+ exchanger.
