InterPro: IPR012521 Antimicrobial peptide, frog-2

This family consists of the major classes of antimicrobial peptides secreted from the skin of frogs that protect the frogs against invading microbes. They are typically between 10-50 amino acids long and are derived from proteolytic cleavage of larger precursors. Major classes of peptides such esculentin, gaegurin, brevinin, rugosin and ranatuerin are included in this family [1].
