Components and effect
Bee venom is a complex mixture of different proteins and small molecules. It is a mixture of histamine, pheromones, enzymes, peptides, amino acids and other acids, with 63 components in total.
The main ingredient with about 50 percent is melittin , which is also the main allergen of bee venom. Phospholipase A 2 (containing about 12 percent) is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolytic cleavage of phospholipids and thus attacks cell membranes . Apamin (2 percent), another ingredient, is known as a neurotoxin . Hyaluronidase (2 percent) widens the blood vessels and their permeability and thus causes the spreading factor to spread .
Other proteins are the mast cell degranulating peptide (2 percent) and tertiapine , two neuropeptides, and secamin , which has no pathological effects. In addition to melittin (Api m 3), phospholipase (Api m 1), hyaluronidase (Api m 2) and other proteins contained act as allergens.
Small molecules in bee venom are histamine (0.1 to 1 percent), dopamine and noradrenaline . Alarm pheromones (4 to 8 percent) signal other bees that one of their people has been attacked and that they should prepare for defense. [2]
