Novel cationic cryptides in Penaeus vannamei demonstrate antimicrobial and anti-cancer activities

Abstract Cryptides are a subfamily of bioactive peptides that exist in all living organisms. They are latently encrypted in their parent sequences and exhibit a wide range of biological activities when decrypted via in vivo or in vitro proteases. Cationic cryptides tend to be drawn to the negatively...
