Yessotoxin (YTX) is a cyclic polyether similar to the brevetoxins, but whose activity is of diarrhetic shellfish poison (DSP) type. This compound was isolated in 1986 from the Japanese scallop Patinopecten yessoensis, it was later shown that this toxin came from the dinoflagellate Protoceratium reticulatum (Murata et al., 1987 Satake, MacKenzie, and Yasumoto, 1997a Takahashi et al., 1996).
