Melittin free acid
Description
Melittin free acid is a basic polypeptide composed of 26 amino acids and is the main active component of bee venom. Melittin free acid is an activator of phospholipase A2 (PLA2). Melittin free acid has broad-spectrum antifungal activity, with MIC values of 0.4-60 ??M. Melittin free acid inhibits fungal growth by inducing apoptosis, inhibiting (1,3)-??-D-glucan synthase, and participating in other pathways.
