Antimicrobial Properties of a Peptide Derived from the Male Fertility Factor kl2 Protein of <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i>

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are important components of innate immunity. Here, we report the antimicrobial properties of a peptide derived from the Male fertility factor kl2 (MFF-kl2) protein of <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i>, which was identified as a functional analog of the mammalia...
