General description

Cecropin B is an antimicrobial peptide present in the hemolymph of the silk moth, Hyalophora cecropia. It is a member of the Cecropin class and possesses an α-helix-like structure.[1] 
Chemical structure: peptide

Application

Cecropin B has been used as an antibiotic peptide to study its cytotoxic potential in breast adenocarcinoma and mesothelioma cell lines.[1] It has also been used as an antimicrobial peptide to test the susceptibility of the Photorhabdus variants in minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) assays.[2]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Antibacterial peptide
Antibacterial peptide originally identified in moths (Hyalophora cecropia) and later in pig intestine.
Cecropin B is known for its antimicrobial activity. It displays antitumor effects in hepatocellular carcinoma, lymphoma, and leukemia cell lines.[1]
