Comments Information

    • Function

    • Potently and selectively inhibits the growth of the Gram-positive bacterium Escherichia coli. No peptide, at concentrations up to 100 µM, inhibited the growth of the fungal pathogen C. albicans.

    • Sequence similarity

    • This peptide shows limited amino acid sequence similarity to the homologous exon gene products that encode the N-terminal flanking peptides of preprocaerulein, preproxenopsin, and preprolevitide.
