CC -!- FUNCTION: Antimicrobial and mast cell degranulating peptide which
CC probably acts by forming pores in membranes (PubMed:28546807,
CC PubMed:28855917). Active against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive
CC bacterial strains as well as against yeasts (PubMed:28546807,
CC PubMed:28855917). Has leishmanicidal activity
CC (IC(50)=25uM)(PubMed:28855917). Has little hemolytic activity
CC (PubMed:28546807, PubMed:28855917). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:28546807,
CC ECO:0000269|PubMed:28855917}.
CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted {ECO:0000269|PubMed:28546807,
CC ECO:0000269|PubMed:28855917}. Target cell membrane
CC {ECO:0000305|PubMed:28546807}. Note=Assumes an amphipathic alpha-
CC helical conformation in a lipid environment.
CC {ECO:0000269|PubMed:28546807}.
CC -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed by the venom gland.
CC {ECO:0000305|PubMed:28546807}.
