Comments Information

    • Function

    • Exerts, in vitro, a potent antimicrobial activity. Probably due to an impairment of the function of the respiratory chain and of energy-dependent activities in the inner membrane of susceptible microorganisms.

    • Tissue specificity

    • Large granules of neutrophils.

    • Domain

    • BAC5 sequence consists almost exclusively of X-P-P-Y repeats.

    • PTM

    • Contains two disulfide bonds and C-terminal amidation.
