Okadaic acid is a toxin that accumulates in bivalves and causes diarrheal shellfish poisoning. The molecular formula of okadaic acid, which is a derivative of a C38 fatty acid, is C44H68O13.

[edit] History
Okadaic acid was named from the marine sponge Halichondria okadai, from which okadaic acid was isolated for the first time.[1] It has also been isolated from another marine sponge, H. malanodocia, as a cytotoxin. The real producers of okadaic acid belong to the algae group of the dinoflagellates, namely the benthic dinoflagellate Prorocentrum and the planktonic forms of Dinophysis,[2] as for example Dinophysis acuminata.[3] Administration of okadaic acid has been shown to profoundly increase the secretion of nerve growth factor, and to also promote nerve growth factor gene transcription and the stability of mRNA in primary cultures of cortical astrocytes.[4]
[edit] Biochemistry
The cytotoxicities of okadaic acid as EC50 against the P388 and L1210 cell lines are 1.7 nanomolar and 17 nanomolar, respectively. Additionally, okadaic acid strongly inhibits protein serine / threonine phosphatase 1, 2A, and 2B.[5] The inhibitory effect of okadaic acid is strongest for 2A, followed by 1, and then 2B. The dissociation constant of the inhibition on protein serine / threonine phosphatase 2A is 30 picomolar.
