Amphipathic peptide that possesses relatively strong activities against Gram-positive bacteria and a fungus, but has very weak antimicrobial activities against Gram-negative bacteria. Also exhibits very low hemolytic activities against human erythrocytes (64 uM induce 21% of hemolysis). Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) are the following: 8 uM against S.aureus, 32 uM against B.magaterium, 32 uM against M.luteus, 28 uM against vancomycin-resistant Enterococci, 14 uM against methicillin-resistant S.aureus, 62 uM against E.coli, >87 uM against P.putida, >87 uM against K.oxytoca, 76 uM against E.cloacae, 72 uM against S.enterica and 16 uM against the fungus C.tropicalis. Forms an alpha-helical membrane channel in the prey. Expressed by the venom gland. Belongs to the non-disulfide-bridged peptide (NDBP) superfamily. Short antimicrobial peptide (group 4) family.
