Gene
N/A
Organism
Melecta albifrons (Cuckoo bee) (Melecta punctata)
Status
Functioni
Antimicrobial activity against the Gram-positive bacteria B.subtilis (MIC=0.8 µM) and S.aureus (MIC=6.8 µM), and against the Gram-negative bacteria E.coli (MIC=2.0 µM) and P.aeruginosa (MIC=18.5 µM). Stimulates degranulation from rat peritoneal mast cells with an EC(50) of 19.4 µM. Has very weak hemolytic activity towards rat erythrocytes.1 Publication
