LMWP is a 14-amino acid derivative from Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) protamine, an arginine-rich protein that replaces histones in chromatin during spermatogenesis ([http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3755398 McKay et al., 1986]; [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10213181 Byun et al., 1999]).
