Bombinin-like peptide 7

Description:

Bombinin-like peptide 7 (BLP-7) is a bioactive peptide derived from the skin secretions of certain amphibians, particularly the Bombina species. It is known for its antimicrobial properties, which contribute to the organism's defense against pathogens. BLP-7 exhibits a cationic nature, allowing it to interact effectively with negatively charged microbial membranes, leading to disruption and cell lysis. The peptide typically consists of a sequence of amino acids that contribute to its structural stability and biological activity, often adopting an alpha-helical conformation in membrane-mimicking environments. In addition to its antimicrobial effects, BLP-7 has been studied for potential applications in medicine, including its role in wound healing and as a model for developing new therapeutic agents. Its CAS number, 138657-70-2, is a unique identifier that facilitates the cataloging and study of this specific peptide in scientific literature and databases. Overall, Bombinin-like peptide 7 represents a significant area of interest in peptide research, particularly in the fields of immunology and pharmacology.
