Secreted immune-induced peptide induced by Toll signaling (PubMed:29920489). Has a role in resistance bacterial and fungal infections (PubMed:25915418, PubMed:29920489). The strength of antimicrobial activity appears to correlate with the overall level of expression (PubMed:29920489). Has no activity against the fungus C.glabrata in vitro (PubMed:29920489). Hemolymph (at protein level). By bacterial infection (at protein level) (PubMed:9736738, PubMed:29920489). Detected within 24 hours of infection (PubMed:9736738). Not induced after bacterial challenge in strains carrying a loss-of-function mutation for Toll. Constitutively expressed in Toll gain-of-function mutants. Belongs to the bomanin family.
