Abstract excerpt
Crustins are well known cysteine-rich cationic antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) in crustaceans that have WFDC [WAP (whey acidic protein) four-disulfide core] domain at the carboxyl terminus. Proteins containing a WFDC domain have been discovered in many invertebrates and vertebrates. Although, there have been many WFDC domain containing nucleotide sequences found in NCBI GenBank database, their distinct sequential...
