Relationship between amino acid sequence diversity and antimicrobial activity of Japanese quail cathelicidins

2019-09-12

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background Japanese quail is a low-fat, meat-bird species exhibiting high disease resistance. Cathelicidins (CATHs) are host defense peptides conserved across numerous vertebrate species that play an important role in innate immunity. The activity of host defense peptides can be affected by amino acid substitutions. However, no polymorphisms in avian CATH genes have been reported to dat...
