Mechanism of action
Cecropin A-melittin hybrid peptide [CA(1-7)M(2-9)NH2] sits within the Antimicrobial research class (CPC reference ATMP-002). Antimicrobial peptides typically disrupt bacterial, fungal, or viral membranes through direct electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions, or by triggering intracellular targets after translocation. Assay potency is usually reported as MIC (minimum inhibitory concentration) against reference strains. Investigators typically incorporate Cecropin A-melittin hybrid peptide [CA(1-7)M(2-9)NH2] as a reference standard, tool ligand, or substrate in the assay contexts listed above. Most commonly used in broth microdilution MIC assays (CLSI M07), radial diffusion assays, and membrane-permeabilization (SYTOX / DiSC₃-5) readouts.
Frequently asked questions
What is Cecropin A-melittin hybrid peptide [CA(1-7)M(2-9)NH2]?

What is Cecropin A-melittin hybrid peptide [CA(1-7)M(2-9)NH2] studied for?
Published and internal research programs use Cecropin A-melittin hybrid peptide [CA(1-7)M(2-9)NH2] as a reference standard in antimicrobial workflows — for example, minimum inhibitory concentration (mic) screens against gram-positive and gram-negative panels and biofilm disruption and anti-biofilm surface coatings. Human clinical evidence is not established.
Is Cecropin A-melittin hybrid peptide [CA(1-7)M(2-9)NH2] FDA-approved for human use?
No. Cecropin A-melittin hybrid peptide [CA(1-7)M(2-9)NH2] is a research-grade reference peptide and is not approved by the FDA or any national regulator for human or veterinary therapeutic use. It is offered exclusively for in-vitro laboratory research and does not ship to the United States for consumer use.
How is Cecropin A-melittin hybrid peptide [CA(1-7)M(2-9)NH2] typically used in the lab?
In a antimicrobial workflow, Cecropin A-melittin hybrid peptide [CA(1-7)M(2-9)NH2] is reconstituted in sterile buffer or DMSO (solubility-dependent) and applied in the researcher's chosen assay format. Most commonly used in broth microdilution MIC assays (CLSI M07), radial diffusion assays, and membrane-permeabilization (SYTOX / DiSC₃-5) readouts.
How should Cecropin A-melittin hybrid peptide [CA(1-7)M(2-9)NH2] be stored?
Lyophilized peptide is stable long-term at −20 °C. Reconstituted stock solutions are typically stored at 4 °C for short-term use or aliquoted and frozen for longer storage. Follow your institution's standard operating procedures for handling synthetic peptides.
Where does the Cecropin A-melittin hybrid peptide [CA(1-7)M(2-9)NH2] product page point to?
This kindr reference page mirrors CPC Scientific's catalog metadata for ATMP-002. The upstream reference sheet — including sequence, purity, MW, and application notes where published — is linked from the buy panel. All orders placed on kindr Peptides ship internationally under research-use terms only.
What quality specifications apply to Cecropin A-melittin hybrid peptide [CA(1-7)M(2-9)NH2]?
Research-grade peptides in the CPC catalog are synthesized by solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS), purified by preparative RP-HPLC, and characterized by analytical HPLC and mass spectrometry. Typical purity is ≥95%; certificate of analysis is available on request.
