This antimicrobial peptide has been purified from the marine clamworm Perinereis aibuhitensis Grube (Pan et al, 2004). Perinerin is a highly basic and hydrophobic protein of 51 amino acids (FNKLKQGSSKRTCAKCFRKIMPSVHELDERRRGANRWAAGFRKCVSSICRY). It shows marked activity in vitro against both Gram-negative bacteria and Gram-positive bacteria and fungi. Perinerin appears to be expressed constitutively.
