Ceratotoxin A（Cat No.:M131479）is an antimicrobial peptide isolated from the Mediterranean fruit fly Ceratitis capitata. Known for its potent antibacterial activity, Ceratotoxin A targets gram-negative bacteria by disrupting their cell membranes, leading to cell death. It is part of the insect’s innate immune system, providing defense against microbial infections. Due to its effectiveness and specificity, Ceratotoxin A is studied for potential applications in developing new antibiotics and as a model for designing synthetic antimicrobial agents. Its unique structure and mechanism make it valuable in research on natural antimicrobial defenses.
