Description & Applications

Product Description

Apis mellifera venom is one of the most widely used natural products in biomedical research. It contains melittin (a cytolytic peptide comprising ~50% of dry weight), apamin (a selective blocker of small-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channels), and Phospholipase A2 (a major allergen and inflammatory mediator).

Research Applications

Immunology: Standard for IgE quantification and allergy research.
Neuroscience: Apamin is a critical tool for studying afterhyperpolarization in neurons.
Oncology: Melittin is investigated for its pore-forming and cytotoxic properties in cancer cells.
