Informação sobre produto

• Nome: Jelleine 2
• Sinónimos: H-TPFKISIHL-NH2
• Marca: Biosynth
• Descrição: Jelleines are a family of very small (8-9 amino acid residues long) host defence peptides (HDPs) isolated from the royal jelly of honey bees (Apis mellifera). Jelleines do not present any similarity with other HDPs from other honeybees and are produced by the workers and secreted into Royal Jelly (RJ), providing abroad-spectrum protection of the bee hive against microbial infections. The Jelleines are not considered cytolytic or directly involved with inflammatory effects. Jelleine-II may be a product of a tryptic digestion of MRJP-1, which is produced in the hypopharyngeal glands of the worker honeybee and secreted into the RJ- an exoproteinase action either on N-or on C-terminal positions of the tryptic fragment could result in the formation of the Jelleines-I and -IV, respectively. Possess antimicrobial properties against yeast, fungi, gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.PLEASE NOTE that in several published articles the sequence of Jelleine-2 has been printed as TPFKISLHL-NH2-NH2, due to a mistake in the original reference: Fontana et al., (2004). The correct sequence, is TPFKISIHL-NH2.
