Histatin 5
Peptide to Histatin 5
Product Specifications
CAS Number
104339-66-4
Structure Composition
H-Asp-Ser-His-Ala-Lys-Arg-His-His-Gly-Tyr-Lys-Arg-Lys-Phe-His-Glu-Lys-His-His-Ser-His-Arg-Gly-Tyr-OH
Applications
Histatin-5, a salivary polypeptide, has been shown to inhibit clostripain (IC50 = 800 nM) and a trypsin-like protease produced by Bacteroides gingivalis (IC50 = 55 nM) . Other proteases, however, have not been inhibited by histatin-5. This peptide was therefore suggested to be a preventive against periodontal disease. Histatin-5 exhibits antimicrobial and a distinct antifungal activity targetting fungal mitochondria.
