Melittin 20449-79-0

Melittin, cas:20449-79-0 is white or off white powder, and its purity is ≥ 95% Melittin, Also known as bee venom peptide, it is a peptide substance with specific biological activity, and its chemical identifier is 20449-79-0. Melittin has attracted much attention in the fields of biology and medical research due to its unique role in the phospholipase A2 (PLA2) family. Phospholipase A2 is a type of enzyme widely present in living organisms, whose main function is to catalyze the hydrolysis reaction of phospholipids, thereby producing free fatty acids and hemolytic phospholipids. These products play critical roles in cellular signaling, inflammatory responses, and various other physiological and pathological processes. According to different molecular weights, PLA2 can be divided into two categories: low molecular weight and high molecular weight.
