[duck basic protein small 2] abbr. dBPS2. This protein has been identified in duck (Anas platyrhynchos) egg white (Naknukool et al, 2008). The peptide is related to Meleagrin and Cygnin and has been grouped as a member of a family of avian proteins related to Beta-Defensins, referred to as ovodefensins (Gong et al, 2010). The sequence of Duck BPS2 is identical with that of cygnin. It is not known whether the peptide plays a role in host defense as direct antibacterial activity has not been demonstrated.
Naknukool S et al (2011) have reported that DUCK BPS2 associates with RNA. The peptide
