Tetrodotoxin contains a series of carbon-carbon and carbon-oxygen bonds, with a unique fused ring structure known as a tricyclic guanidinium moiety. This complex structure is responsible for the potent blocking effect of tetrodoxin on sodium channels.
EVERY ONE
Scientists have found that toxic fugu have unique exocrine glands for the secretion of tetrodotoxin. The fish appear to actively produce the toxin, rather than passively acquire it from the environment.

Tetrodotoxin binds to voltage gated sodium channels and blocks them from passing sodium into cells. These channels are a critical part of the functioning of nerve cells and blocking the movement of sodium effectively blocks the transmission of information along the nerve cells. This in turns leads to paralysis in the animal or person that was exposed to tetrodotoxin.
Tetrodotoxin blocks voltage-gated sodium channels in nerve cells, leading to the inhibition of action potentials and the disruption of nerve signal transmission. This can result in paralysis, respiratory failure, and death in severe cases.
