Molecular Characterization, Gene Expression and Antibacterial Activity Analysis of a Novel Piscidin (Piscidin-4) of Largemouth Bass (Micropterus Salmoides)
A novel piscidin was identified in largemouth bass that contained an active peptide of 25 aa with an amphipathic helix possessing distinct hydrophobic and positively charged regions, and was significantly up-regulated in spleen from 6 h to 24 h post-lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation.
