Meucin-49, a multifunctional scorpion venom peptide with bactericidal synergy with neurotoxins
Amino Acids, 2018Besides key roles in prey capture and predator defense, scorpion venom also functions as internal immune agents protecting the venom gland from infection and external immune agents cleaning saprophytic microbes from their own body surfaces. However, antimicrobials (typically antimicrobial peptides, AMPs) in the venom often exist in low abundance that ...

VmCT1 is a cationic antimicrobial peptide (AMP) from the venom of the scorpion Vaejovis mexicanus. VmCT1 and analogs were designed with single substitutions for verifying the influence of changes in physicochemical features described as important for AMPs antimicrobial and hemolytic activities, as well as their effect on VmCT1 analogs resistance ...

Peptides, 1995
A nontoxic peptide with bradykinin-potentiating activity was isolated from the dialyzed venom of the scorpion Buthus occitanus by reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). The pharmacological activity of the peptide was bioassayed by its ability to potentiate added bradykinin (BK) on the isolated guinea pig ileum as well as the ...
