Antimicrobial peptide active against Gram-positive bacteria like B.subtilis, S.aureus and L.monocytogenes as well as against Gram-negative bacteria like E.coli and P.aeruginosa with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) between 1.3 uM and 35 uM (PubMed:24616110, PubMed:29185466). Active against fungus C.albicans (MIC=6.3 uM) (PubMed:24616110). Has little hemolytic activity (PubMed:24616110, PubMed:29185466). Acts by disrupting membranes and bacterial cell wall structures (PubMed:29185466). Adopts an alpha-helical structure in a membrane mimic environment (PubMed:24616110, PubMed:29185466). Binds to peptidoglycan and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (PubMed:29185466). Expressed by the venom gland.
