The Botulinum toxin is a neurotoxins produced by the<em> Clostridium botulinum</em>. This toxin bind to the neuron presynaptically and by the exocytosis it enters in the neuron. It has a greater affinity to Cholinergic receptors as compared to the acetylcholine. Hence, the toxin causes the decrease in the release of the acetylcholine molecules.
As a result of the decreased in the release of the acetylcholine the neuro-transmission is blocked, and due to this the person dies.
<span>Botulinum toxin does not bind to receptors presemt at the axon terminal in order to enter the neuron. It is a neurotoxin protein produced by Clostridium botulinum which is a bacterium. It prevents the release of neurotransmitter from axon endings that results to flaccid paralysis.</span>
