Isolation of biologically active peptides from the venom of Japanese carpenter bee, Xylocopa appendiculata

Conclusion We found three novel biologically active peptides in the venom of X. appendiculata and analyzed their molecular functions, and compared their sequential homology to discuss their molecular diversity. Highly sensitive mass analysis plays an important role in this study.
