Overview

This part is Cecropin B, an antimicrobial peptide derived from the Cecropia moth. This specific sequence is optimized for microalgal expression

Usage and Biology

Cecropins, a group of antimicrobial peptides fround primarily from insects, are a group of cationic antimicrobial peptides. Like most of the members of the group, Cecropin B has an amphipathic N-terminal segment and a largely hydrophobic C-terminal segment. These form a helix-hinge-helix structure, that is essential in maintaining antimicrobial effect.
This is simply the coding region of Cecropin B, to be used in microalgal expression systems.
