Inhibits the growth of Gram-positive (S.aureus, MIC=15 uM) and Gram-negative bacteria (E.coli, MIC=10 uM and P.aeruginosa, MIC=10 uM). It also shows 26% of hemolysis when 15 uM are tested (81% at 50 uM) (PubMed:23182832). Inhibits the growth of Gram-negative bacteria (E.coli, MIC=25 uM and P.aeruginosa, MIC=40 uM). It also shows 7% of hemolysis when 50 uM are tested. Does not show activity against the Gram-positive bacteria S.aureus (PubMed:23182832). Forms a 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.
