What Melittin is studied for

  • Kinase activity and kinetic characterization
  • High-throughput inhibitor screening
  • Selectivity profiling across kinase panels
  • Substrate-motif specificity mapping

Mechanism of action

Melittin sits within the Kinase Substrates research class (CPC reference PKCP-018). These peptides carry consensus phosphorylation motifs recognized by specific kinase families (PKA, PKC, CDK, MAPK, tyrosine kinases). Phosphorylation is detected via radiolabel incorporation, ADP quantitation, or antibody-based readouts. Investigators typically incorporate Melittin as a reference standard, tool ligand, or substrate in the assay contexts listed above. ADP-Glo, HTRF KinEASE, and radiometric filter-binding assays.

Frequently asked questions

What is Melittin?

Melittin (CPC catalog code PKCP-018) is a synthetic kinase / phosphatase substrate in the kinase substrates category. It is provided as a lyophilized ~1 mg vial for in-vitro research use only.

What is Melittin studied for?

Published and internal research programs use Melittin as a reference standard in kinase substrates workflows — for example, kinase activity and kinetic characterization and high-throughput inhibitor screening. Human clinical evidence is not established.

Is Melittin FDA-approved for human use?

No. Melittin 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 Melittin typically used in the lab?

In a kinase substrates workflow, Melittin is reconstituted in sterile buffer or DMSO (solubility-dependent) and applied in the researcher's chosen assay format. ADP-Glo, HTRF KinEASE, and radiometric filter-binding assays.

How should Melittin be stored?

Store lyophilized at −20 °C, protected from light and moisture. Follow your institution's standard operating procedures for handling synthetic peptides.

Where does the Melittin product page point to?

This kindr reference page mirrors CPC Scientific's catalog metadata for PKCP-018. 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 Melittin?

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.
