'''Delta-endotoxin''' named also Cyt or Cry, 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. For a list of various toxins see [[Toxins]]. | '''Delta-endotoxin''' named also Cyt or Cry, is a pore-forming toxin produced by ''Bacillus thuringiensis''. It is used as an insecticide.
