This short cysteine-rich peptide with the sequence CRWRWKCCKK is a Cell-penetrating peptide derived from nuclear localization sequence of snake toxin, crotamine. The peptide has shown cytoplasmic uptake in a variety of mammalian cell types and also for plant cells. The peptide also possesses antimicrobial activity and is effective in killing methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (Jha et al, 2011; Ponnappan N et al, 2017).
