" /> antimicrobial cationic peptides - CISMeF





Preferred Label : antimicrobial cationic peptides;

MeSH definition : Small cationic peptides that are an important component, in most species, of early innate and induced defenses against invading microbes. In animals they are found on mucosal surfaces, within phagocytic granules, and on the surface of the body. They are also found in insects and plants. Among others, this group includes the DEFENSINS, protegrins, tachyplesins, and thionins. They displace DIVALENT CATIONS from phosphate groups of MEMBRANE LIPIDS leading to disruption of the membrane.;

MeSH synonym : peptides, cationic antimicrobial; peptides, antimicrobial cationic; microbicidal cationic proteins; cationic peptides, antimicrobial; cationic proteins, microbicidal; proteins, microbicidal cationic; cationic antimicrobial peptides; antimicrobial peptides, cationic; Cationic Host Defense Peptides; Cationic Antimicrobial Peptide; Antimicrobial Peptide, Cationic; Peptide, Cationic Antimicrobial;

CISMeF synonym : Host Defense Peptides;

MeSH hyponym : amphipathic cationic antimicrobial peptides;
