UniProtKB accession:  P82042

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Shows antibacterial activity against B.cereus, L.lactis, L.innocua, M.luteus, S.aureus, P.multoci, S.hominis, S.epidermidis and S.uberis (Ref.1, PubMed:33431675). Strong activity against M.luteus (MIC=2 uM) compared to S.hominis, S.epidermidis and S.aureus (PubMed:33431675). Acts by inducing permeabilization of bacterial membranes (PubMed:33431675). Forms amyloid fibrils which, in the presence of bacteria, aggregate on the bacterial membrane leading to severe membrane damage and cell death (Ref.3, PubMed:33431675).
