CC   -!- FUNCTION: Peptide which can recruit, activate and subsequently lyse
CC       human neutrophils, thus eliminating the main cellular defense against
CC       infection. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:A9JX08}.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the phenol-soluble modulin alpha peptides
CC       family. {ECO:0000305}.
