RL   Biochem. J. 390:207-214(2005).
CC   -!- FUNCTION: Has antibacterial activity against several Gram-positive and
CC       Gram-negative bacteria. Is weakly active against yeasts. Acts by a
CC       nonpore mechanism. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15850460}.
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted {ECO:0000250}.
CC   -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in the body wall, intestine, uterus and
CC       ovary. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15850460}.
CC   -!- INDUCTION: By bacterial infection. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15850460}.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the cecropin family. {ECO:0000305}.
