Arthropod Venoms
Arthropod venoms (excluding spiders and scorpions, e.g., bees, wasps, centipedes) are a diversified group of bioactive compounds, including enzymes (such as hyaluronidase) and peptides. These venoms are valuable for researching immune reactions (e.g., allergies), inflammatory processes, neurotoxins, and the development of new antimicrobial or anti-inflammatory drugs. Do you need to study allergic response mechanisms or search for new antibacterial peptides? Explore this category for specialized toxins.

Bioactive "inflammatory cocktails" produced by insects (bees, wasps, ants) and centipedes. Unlike spider venoms, they contain a high proportion of cytolytic peptides.
Significance
- Key Components: Melittin (bee venom), phospholipase A2, and biogenic amines (histamine).
- Inflammation Research: A classic model for studying anaphylaxis and allergic response.
- AMPs: Antimicrobial peptides from ants for novel antibiotic development.
