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 sequence is isolated from Hyalophora cecropia
This is simply the coding region of Cecropin B, to be used in microalgal expression systems.
