The synthetic peptide has antimicrobial activity against Gram-negative bacterium B.dysenteriae (MIC=35 ug/ml), against Gram-positive bacteria S.aureus ATCC 2592 (MIC=4.7 ug/ml) and B.subtilis ATCC 6633 (MIC=9.38 ug/ml) and against fungus C.albicans (MIC=18.75 ug/ml). Has no activity against Gram-negative bacterium E.coli ATCC 25922 but exhibits low hemolytic activity at concentrations up to 200 ug/ml. Expressed by the skin glands. Belongs to the frog skin active peptide (FSAP) family. Brevinin subfamily.
