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.

The Cathelicidins - Structure, Function and Evolution

Current Protein & Peptide Science, 2005
The cathelicidin family of host defense peptides includes a group of cationic and usually amphipathic peptides that display a variety of activities related to host defense functions, among which the most acknowledged is a direct antimicrobial activity against various microbial pathogens.

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.

Review: Defensins and cathelicidins in lung immunity

Innate Immunity, 2010
Defensins were first identified in 1985 and are now recognized as part of a large family of antimicrobial peptides, divided into three categories: α-, β-, and θ-defensins. These defensin classes differ in structure, sites of expression and biological activities.

Structural and functional diversity of cathelicidins.

2017
Cathelicidins are a ubiquitous family of host defence peptides (HDPs) in vertebrate animals. Unlike other HDP families, they are defined by the common and relatively well conserved proregion rather than the mature active peptides, which are highly diverse and conform to at least five different structural groups.
