Abstract excerpt
Host defense peptides of 35 species of Australian frogs from the hylids Cyclorana and Litoria, and the myobatrachids Crinia, Limnodynastes and Uperoleia have been identified. The biological activities of the majority of these peptides have been determined and include hormones, neuropeptides, opioids, immunomodulators, membrane active peptides [including antimicrobial, anticancer, antiviral (enveloped viruses like...
