DRAMP01668

• • Function

  • Possesses a potent antimicrobial activity against bacteria, fungi and protozoa. Probably acts by disturbing membrane functions with its amphipathic structure. This peptide could also inhibit HIV infection at a concentration that is also toxic to T cells (J Virol 2005; 79

• • Tissue specificity

  • Expressed by the skin glands.
