Has antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive bacteria (A.globiformis VKM Ac-1112 (MIC=0.5 uM), and B.subtilis VKM B-501 (MIC=1.0 uM)), Gram-negative bacteria (E.coli DH5-alpha (MIC=1.0 uM), E.coli MH1 (MIC=0.7 uM), and P.aeruginosa PAO1 (MIC=4.1 uM)), and yeasts (P.pastoris GS115 (MIC=17 uM), and S.cerevisiae Y190 (MIC>33 uM)). Has a moderate hemolytic activity against rabbit erythrocytes. Causes paralysis, but is not lethal when injected into insect (M.domestica) larvae. Expressed by the venom gland. The mature peptide (63-87) probably forms alpha-helices which disrupt target cell membranes. Cleavage of the propeptide depends on the processing quadruplet motif (XXXR, with at least one of X being E). Belongs to the cationic peptide 03 (latarcin) family. 01 subfamily.
