Secondary Information

Presence in other biological fluids/tissue/cells bovine neutrophil
Protein Function antimicrobial activity against Gram-negative bacteria; internalized into the cell where it inactivates intracellular targets; micropinocytosis; has cytolytic activity, involving membrane disruption and necrosis of host mammalian cells; In terms of fungicidal activity, Bac7 is active against Cryptococcus neoformans, which infects the lungs and central nervous system; displays activity against several Chlamydia strains; inhibit biofilms; prevents bacterial metabolism, likely disrupting biofilm formation
Biochemical Properties proline-rich peptides; positively charged peptides and make up 4% of total neutrophil proteins; linear peptide that is structurally comparable to Bac5; highly cationic (+11), and so is more hydrophobic than Bac5
