| Bioactivity | AcrAP2 is an antimicrobial peptide isolated from the venom of the Arabian scorpion (Androctonus crassicauda). AcrAP2 has inhibitory effects on Gram-positive bacteria and yeast, but is essentially inactive against Gram-negative bacteria. A cationic-enhanced AcrAP2 analog (AcrAP2a) shows significant antiproliferative effects against certain human cancer cell lines at low concentrations. AcrAP2 can be used in antibacterial and antitumor studies[1]. |
