This flashcard defines and provides examples of antimicrobial peptides and proteins. These molecules, secreted by epithelial cells and phagocytes, kill microbes non-specifically by disrupting their cell membranes.
Amfipatyczne peptydy lub białka wydzielane przez komórki nabłonkowe i fagocyty, które w sposób niespecyficzny zabijają różne drobnoustroje, głównie poprzez zakłócanie błon komórkowych. Przykładami tych amfipatycznych peptydów lub białek u ludzi są defensyny, katelecydyny, histatyny i RegIIIγ.
