Description
Amino Acid Sequence Arg-Leu-Cys-Arg-Ile-Val-Val-Ile-Arg-Val-Cys-Arg-OH (Disulfide bridge: 3-11)Bactenecin is a 12-amino acid cationic antimicrobial peptide from bovine neutrophils. Bactenecin′s activity has been studied as a cyclic molecule as well as in a linear form. It is used to study the functional role of Trk1p in the mechanism of other antifungal peptides. It has been used to study chemokine and cytokine production, alteration of gene expression in host cells, and inhibition of proinflammatory responses of host cells to bacterial components
