OX NCBI_TaxID=30344; RN [1] RP PROTEIN SEQUENCE, AMIDATION AT LYS-22, AND MASS SPECTROMETRY. RC TISSUE=Parotoid gland; RA Stone D.J.M., Waugh R.J., Bowie J.H., Wallace J.C., Tyler M.J.; RT "Peptides from Australian frogs. The structures of the caerins from Litoria RT caerula."; RL J. Chem. Res. 138:910-936(1993). CC -!- FUNCTION: Antibacterial peptide, that adopts an alpha helical CC conformation which can disrupt bacterial membranes. Each caerin CC displays a different antimicrobial specificity. CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted. CC -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed by the skin parotoid and/or rostral CC glands. CC -!- MASS SPECTROMETRY: Mass=2397; Method=FAB; Evidence={ECO:0000269|Ref.1}; CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the frog skin active peptide (FSAP) family. CC Caerin subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
