The term "endotoxin" is a bit wonky. Originally, it was intended solely to mean a toxin(s) not secreted by the bacterium cell until after cell death. Since then, however, the term has come to refer to the cell wall components of Gram-negative bacteria, most specifically lipopolysaccharide (LPS).
In the case of the term "endotoxin" referring to LPS, then, no -- LPS is a sole toxin (an "A"). However, when the more general meaning of the term "endotoxin" is used, the toxin released may be an A-B toxin.

What does the toxin Endotoxin do?
The amount of endotoxin in protein, peptide or antibody samples is measured by the Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) test with an endotoxin kit. The concentration of endotoxin in the test specimens is calculated by the LAL kit by chromogenic signal in the presence of endotoxin. This measurement is performed on a microplagin absorption reader at 405 nm. Protein and antibody samples are measured every 30 minutes. The importance of determining the level of endotoxin in evaluating the effectiveness of endotoxin removal methods as well as preventing endotoxic shocks and animals injected with endotoxin-contaminated proteins is very important.
Is a neurotoxin an endotoxin?
No, a neurotoxin is a type of toxin that specifically affects nerve cells and the nervous system. Endotoxins, on the other hand, are a type of toxin produced by certain bacteria and are released when the bacteria die and their cell walls break down.
Is endotoxin an exogenous pyrogen?

Is jellyfish toxin a base or an acid?
toxin
Which is the toxin produced by aspergillus?
Alfa toxin.
What is endogenous endotoxin?
Endogenous endotoxin refers to lipopolysaccharides (LPS) that are produced by the body's own cells, particularly gut bacteria. These endotoxins can trigger an immune response and contribute to inflammation and other health issues when released into the bloodstream.
What can Endotoxin in sterile injectable drugs cause?
Endotoxin in sterile injectable drugs can cause severe systemic inflammatory response known as endotoxemia, resulting in symptoms such as fever, chills, hypotension, and potentially fatal outcomes like septic shock. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure strict quality control measures to prevent endotoxin contamination in sterile injectable drugs.
Is toxa plural of toxin?
No, the plural of toxin is toxins.
What toxin from alcohol damages your brain?
Alcohol IS a toxin.
