| Bioactivity | Macropin (MAC-1 peptide) is an antimicrobial peptide found in the venom of the solitary bee Macropis fulvipes. Macropin has antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, and also exhibits inhibitory activity against fungi and moderate hemolytic activity against human erythrocytes. Macropin can be used in research on anti-infective therapy[1]. |
