CC   -!- FUNCTION: Maximin-4 shows antibacterial activity against both Gram-
CC       positive and Gram-negative bacteria. It shows also antimicrobial
CC       activity against the fungus C.albicans, but not against A.flavus nor
CC       P.uticale. It has little hemolytic activity. It does not possess a
CC       significant cytotoxicity against tumor cell lines. It does not possess
CC       a significant anti-HIV activity.
CC   -!- FUNCTION: Maximin-H3 shows antibacterial activity against both Gram-
CC       positive and Gram-negative bacteria. It shows also antimicrobial
CC       activity against the fungus C.albicans. Shows strong hemolytic
CC       activity.
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted {ECO:0000269|Ref.2}.
CC   -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed by the skin glands. {ECO:0000269|Ref.2}.
CC   -!- MASS SPECTROMETRY: [Maximin-4]: Mass=2612; Method=FAB;
CC       Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:11835991};
CC   -!- MASS SPECTROMETRY: [Maximin-H3]: Mass=1944; Method=FAB;
CC       Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:11835991};
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the bombinin family. {ECO:0000305}.
