The beta subunit of cholera toxin binds to a GM1-anglioside receptor which is widely accepted to initiate toxin action by triggering uptake and delivery of the toxin alpha subunit into cells. The holotoxin consists of a pentameric ring of beta subunits whose central pore is occupied by the alpha subunit. The alpha subunit contains two chains, A1 and A2, linked by a disulfide bridge. The alpha subunit (and cholera toxin) activate the adenylate cyclase enzyme in cells of the intestinal mucosa leading to increased levels of intracellular cAMP.Synonyms: Cholera enterotoxin B chain, Cholera enterotoxin gamma chain, Choleragenoid, VC_1456, ctxB, toxB
