CECROPIN A Chemische Eigenschaften,Einsatz,Produktion Methoden
Verwenden
Cecropin A is an antibacterial peptide originally identified in moths.
Allgemeine Beschreibung
Cecropin A belongs to cecropin class and comprises 37 amino acid residues in L configuration. Structurally, this peptide has a C-terminal hydrophobic α-helical structure and the amphipathic N-terminal end. Cecropin A is linear and cationic in nature.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Cecropin A interacts with cell membranes and makes it permeable for electrolytes. Cecropin A thus, favors cytolysis and finally cell death in the hepatocellular carcinoma and lymphoma. The synthetic cecropin A in transgenic rice confers protection against bacterial as well as fungal pathogens.
