Antimicrobial peptide with high activity against Gram-positive bacteria, moderate activity against Gram-negative bacteria, and moderate activity against fungi (PubMed:23967105). Acts by causing bacterial membrane disruption inducing leakage of the intracellular content followed by cell death (PubMed:23967105). It adopts an alpha-helical amphipathic structure in membrane environments (PubMed:23967105). Also shows highly potent antiparasitic activity against Leishmania species (PubMed:23967105). Shows moderate hemolytic activity on human erythrocytes (LC(50)=33 uM) (PubMed:23967105). Is also active on human monocytes (IC(50)=23 uM) (PubMed:23967105). Forms a helical membrane channel in the target. Expressed by the skin glands. Belongs to the frog skin active peptide (FSAP) family. Phylloseptin subfamily.
