DRAMP03040

• • Function

  • Linear cationic alpha-helical peptide that acts as antimicrobial peptide by forming pore in membrane. Has antibacterial activities against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative strains. Has more potent activities against the yeast C.albicans. Shows moderate mast cell degranulation and leishmanicidal activities. Has a very low hemolytic activity against mice erythrocytes.

• • Tissue specificity

  • Expressed by the venom sac.

• • PTM

  • C-terminal amidation (Leucine amide
