Mitotoxin
text:
A mitotoxin is a cytotoxic molecule targeted to specific cells by a mitogen. Generally found in snake venom. Mitotoxins are responsible for mediating cell death by interfering with protein or DNA synthesis. Some mechanisms by which mitotoxins can interfere with DNA or protein synthesis include the inactivation of ribosomes or the inhibition of complexes in the mitochondrial electron transport chain. These toxins have a very high affinity and level of specificity for the receptors that they bind
