Preferred Label : cathelicidins;
MeSH definition : Antimicrobial cationic peptides with a highly conserved amino terminal cathelin-like
domain and a more variable carboxy terminal domain. They are initially synthesized
as preproproteins and then cleaved. They are expressed in many tissues of humans and
localized to EPITHELIAL CELLS. They kill nonviral pathogens by forming pores in membranes.;
