Amphibian cathelicidin fills the evolutionary gap of cathelicidin in vertebrate

Amino Acids, 2011
Cathelicidins comprise a family of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) sharing a highly conserved cathelin domain, and play a central role in the innate defense against infection in most of vertebrates. But so far it has not yet been found in amphibians although a large number of other groups of AMPs have been identified.

Structure and Biology of Cathelicidins

2002
Cathelicidins are a recently discovered family of effector molecules in innate immunity. In the past few years, a great deal of investigations have elucidated several aspects of their biology, such as the gene structure and activation mechanism. Despite substantial progress in the field, several issues remain to be clarified, including the biological ...

The Janus Face of Cathelicidin in Tumorigenesis

Current Medicinal Chemistry, 2014
Cathelicidin is a host defense peptide with multiple innate immunity-related functions. Recent findings indicate that cathelicidin is frequently dysregulated in human cancers where it plays a paradoxical yet dominant role in the regulation of tumor malignancy.

Cathelicidin deficiency predisposes to eczema herpeticum [PDF]

Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2006
The cathelicidin family of antimicrobial peptides is an integral component of the innate immune response that exhibits activity against bacterial, fungal, and viral pathogens. Eczema herpeticum (ADEH) develops in a subset of patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) because of disseminated infection with herpes simplex virus (HSV).This study investigated ...
