Based on the characteristics above, this toxin can be categorized as EXOTOXIN. These toxins (exotoxins) are produced by different types of bacteria.

Exotoxins are a broad category of proteins produced by bacteria that enter host cells in order to alter their physiological properties.

These toxins (exotoxins) can be secreted by Gram-negative bacteria and Gram-positive bacteria.

Examples of exotoxins include botulinum toxin secreted by <em>Clostridium botulinum</em> bacteria, tetanospasmin toxin secreted by <em>Clostridium tetani </em>bacteria, etc.
