Antimicrobial peptide that inhibits the growth of Gram-positive (S.aureus, MIC=1 uM) and Gram-negative bacteria (E.coli, MIC=15 uM and P.aeruginosa, MIC=2 uM). It also shows 37% of hemolysis when 15 uM are tested (93% at 50 uM). Forms a helical membrane channel in the prey. Expressed by the venom gland. Belongs to the non-disulfide-bridged peptide (NDBP) superfamily. Short antimicrobial peptide (group 4) family.
