Target Information

Cecropins are antimicrobial peptides produced by insects, particularly under infection conditions. They interact with membranes to form transmembrane channels, allowing the free flow of electrolytes, metabolites, and water across phospholipid bilayers.
Cecropins A, B, and D are close homologues consisting of 35–39 residues. They are found in the pupae of the cecropin moth, while related homologues such as lepidopteran, bactericidin, moricin, and sarcotoxin are produced by other insects.
