Has antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria B.megaterium Bm11, S.lentus and M.luteus, and Gram-negative bacteria E.coli D22, Y.pseudotuberculosis YP III and P.syringae pv tabaci, and antifungal activity against C.albicans ATCC 10231, C.tropicalis, C.guiller-mondii and P.nicotianae spores. Has weak hemolytic activity. The mature peptide inserts into the hydrophobic core of the bacterial cell membrane and increases permeability without disrupting membrane integrity. Probably binds to the outer membrane surface before aggregating to form transmembrane pores. Expressed by the skin granular glands. Belongs to the frog skin active peptide (FSAP) family. Brevinin subfamily.
