A novel beta-defensin antimicrobial peptide in Atlantic cod with stimulatory effect on phagocytic activity.

A novel beta-defensin antimicrobial peptide in Atlantic cod with stimulatory effect on phagocytic activity.

A novel defensin antimicrobial peptide gene was identified in Atlantic cod, Gadus morhua. This three exon/two intron defensin gene codes for a peptide precursor consisting of two domains: a signal peptide of 26 amino acids and a mature peptide of 40 residues. The mature cod defensin has six conserve...
