BMAP-18

BMAP-18 is a biological active peptide. (BMAP-18 is a truncated form of the antimicrobial peptide BMAP-27. Bovine myeloid antimicrobial peptide-27 (BMAP-27) belongs to the Cathelicidin family of peptides which displays rapid bactericidal activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus uberis, and Escherichia coli. BMAP-27 is cytotoxic to human erythrocytes and neutrophils, although at higher than microbicidal concentrations. BMAP-18 displays much higher cell selectivity as compared to parental BMAP-27 because of its decreased hemolytic activity and retained antimicrobial activity.)
