BIOPEP-UWM: Report

ID 5460
Name aurein 2.4
sequence
GLFDIVKKVVGTIAGL

Function:
Peptide derived from the secretion of the granular dorsal glands of the Green and Golden Bell Frog Litoria aurea. Peptides isolated from amphibians show wide-spectrum antibiotic and anticancer activity. .Antimicrobial activity against L.lactis, M.luteus, P.multocida, S.aureus, S.epidermidis and S.uberis. Probably acts by disturbing membrane functions with its amphipathic structure. Shows anticancer activity.
