Descriptor cecropinas
Entry term(s) cecropina
Scope note: Péptidos antimicrobianos que forman canales en las membranas que son más permeables a los aniones que a los cationes. Se parecen a las MAGAININAS, con su región N-terminal en forma de hélice alfa anfipática con carga positiva, pero contienen un segmento C-terminal adicional.
