[Haemaphysalis longicornis salivary gland defensin] This is an antimicrobial peptide from the tick Haemaphysalis longicornis. The full-length cDNA encodes an expected protein with 81 amino acids that has characteristics of defensins. The synthetic peptide based on the cDNA sequence is active against a variety of Gram-positive bacteria and Gram-negative bacteria. Expression of the peptide gene is observed after injection of bacterial lipopolsaccharides.
