Melittin | Bee Venom Peptide & Cellular

Melittin is the main peptide found in honeybee venom and is studied for its powerful effects on cell membranes, inflammation, microbes, and abnormal cells. Its ability to disrupt membranes makes it scientifically interesting, but it also means the same activity can damage healthy cells, so safety and targeted delivery are major areas of research.

In scientific terms, melittin is a 26-amino-acid amphipathic peptide that can insert into lipid membranes and form disruptive pores. Preclinical research has examined antimicrobial, inflammatory, cytolytic, and anticancer mechanisms, while hemolysis and nonspecific cell toxicity remain major limitations for therapeutic development.
