abbr. Mtk. Metchnikowin (HRHQGPIFDTRPSPFNPNQPRPGPIY), encoded by gene CG8175, is a proline-rich immune-inducible peptide from Drosophila melanogaster (Levy et al, 2004). It has antibacterial (Gram-positive) and antifungal activities. Rabel et al (2004) have isolated a number of immune-induced antimicrobial peptides from Drosophila melanogaster that are produced under control of the imd [Immune Deficiency] pathway. DIM-17 [Drosophila Immune-induced Molecule 17] (IM17 [immune-induced peptide 17]) has been identified as metchnikowin (Levy et al, 2004). See also:
