Antimicrobial peptide that inhibits the growth of Gram-positive (S.aureus, MIC=10 uM) and Gram-negative bacteria (E.coli, MIC=15 uM and P.aeruginosa, MIC=6 uM). It also shows 35% of hemolysis when 15 uM are tested (95% at 50 uM). Forms a helical membrane channel in the prey. Expressed by the venom gland. The non-amidated UyCT3 does not show antimicrobial activity. Average mass. Belongs to the non-disulfide-bridged peptide (NDBP) superfamily. Short antimicrobial peptide (group 4) family.
