'''Delta-endotoxin''' is a pore-forming toxin produced by Bacillus thuringiensis.  It is used as an insecticide.  Upon ingestion by insect, δ-endotoxin is cleaved, binds to the gut epithelium and forms cation channels.  This causes cell lysis and death.  See [[Insecticidal delta-endotoxin Cyt2Ba from Bacillus thuringiensis]] for more details.
