Amphipathic peptide that shows antibacterial activities against both Gram-positive (MIC=10 uM, 20 uM and 20 uM against S.aureus, B.subtilis and S.agalactiae, respectively) and Gram-negative bacteria (MIC=20 uM, 10 uM, and 10 uM against E.coli, S.typhi, and P.aeruginosa, respectively). Is mildly hemolytic at its MIC range, but shows a strong cytotoxic activity at higher concentrations, reaching 84% lysis at 50 uM. 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.
