Antimicrobial peptide active against Gram-positive bacteria M.luteus (MIC=0.8 uM) and B.subtilis (MIC=1.5 uM). Less active against Gram-negative bacteria E.coli (MIC=32.5 uM) and yeast C.albicans (MIC=18.7 uM). Not active against S.aureus and P.aeruginosa. Has no hemolytic activity against human erythrocytes. Probably acts by disrupting membranes of target cells.
