[Penaeus vannamei hemocyanin C-terminal fragment] This peptide (FEDLPNFGHIQVKVFNHGEHIHH) has been identified in the plasma of the shrimp Penaeus vannamei (Destoumieux-Garzón et al, 2001). It is thought to be derived from the C-terminus of hemocyanin by in vivo processing. The peptide shows broad activity against various filamentous fungal pathogens.
