Dermaseptin is a polypeptide isolated from frog skin that exhibits potent antimicrobial activity against bacteria, fungi and protozoa.
Dermaseptin is a water-soluble, thermostable, and nonhemolytic peptide endowed with highly potent antimicrobial activity against pathogenic fungi at micromolar concentration.
Dermaseptin is derived from insect antimicrobial peptides; mammalian antimicrobial peptides; amphibian antimicrobial peptides; fish, mollusk and crustacean derived antimicrobial peptides; plant antimicrobial peptides and bacterial antimicrobial peptides.
