Bactenecin, Bovine

Bactenecin is a 12-residue cyclic bovine neutrophil antimicrobial peptide. Its single intramolecular disulfide constrains the peptide into a compact cationic structure that disrupts bacterial membranes and is used in innate-immunity and peptide-membrane studies.

• antimicrobial and host-defense research
• innate-immunity studies
• bacterial signaling or quorum sensing
• peptide-membrane structure-function analysis

Disulfide state, exact sequence, species origin and terminal chemistry define product identity. Use sequence-matched controls and consistent ionic conditions in antimicrobial or quorum-sensing assays.
