CC   -!- FUNCTION: Antimicrobial peptide that inhibits the growth of Gram-
CC       positive (S.aureus, MIC=1 uM) and Gram-negative bacteria (E.coli,
CC       MIC=15 uM and P.aeruginosa, MIC=2 uM). It also shows 37% of hemolysis
CC       when 15 uM are tested (93% at 50 uM). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23182832}.
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted {ECO:0000250}. Target cell membrane
CC       {ECO:0000250}. Note=Forms a helical membrane channel in the prey.
CC       {ECO:0000250}.
CC   -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed by the venom gland.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the non-disulfide-bridged peptide (NDBP)
CC       superfamily. Short antimicrobial peptide (group 4) family.
CC       {ECO:0000305}.
