Escapin is a 60 kDa monomeric protein isolated from the defensive purple ink secretion of the sea hare Aplysia californica. The protein may play a role in immune processes. The gene has been cloned by Yang et al (2005). Escapin is an antimicrobial protein and has been characterized as a flavin-containing l-amino acid oxidase (LAAO). Native escapin inhibits the growth of Gram-positive bacteria and Gram-negative bacteria, including marine bacteria (Vibrio harveyii and Staphylococcus aureus) and pathogenic bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes and Pseudomonas aeruginosa). Escapin also inhibits the growth of yeast
