Identification of New Ocellatin Antimicrobial Peptides by cDNA Precursor Cloning in the Frame of This Family of Intriguing Peptides

Ocellatins are a family of antimicrobial peptides found exclusively in the <i>Leptodactylus</i> genus. To date, 10 species have been studied and more than 23 peptides described. Here we report the sequences of five new peptides from the skin of the frog <i>Leptodactylus latrans<...
