The Peptide Network between Tetanus Toxin and Human Proteins Associated with Epilepsy

Benhamou Schmidt

Epilepsy is a complex neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures, affecting millions of individuals worldwide. While the exact mechanisms underlying epilepsy are not fully understood, recent studies have shed light on the involvement of various proteins in the pathogenesis of this condition. Surprisingly, emerging evidence suggests a potential interaction between tetanus toxin, a neurotoxin produced by the bacteria Clostridium tetani, and specific human proteins associated with epilepsy. This article aims to explore the peptide network formed between tetanus toxin and epilepsy-associated human proteins, providing insights into the possible implications of this interaction in the context of epilepsy pathophysiology.
