SMAP-29, Sheep Myeloid Antimicrobial Peptide 29

SMAP-29 is a sheep myeloid cathelicidin with potent broad-spectrum antibacterial activity, including activity against Pseudomonas species and multidrug-resistant organisms. It is a useful model for highly cationic membrane-active host-defense peptides.

• 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.
