This peptide of 31 amino acids (CARLNCVPKGTSGNTETCPCYASLHSCRKYG) has been identified in the fruit of Zizyphus jujuba (Chinese date or pear-jujube). Snakin-Z is not identical to any antimicrobial peptide in peptide databases. It shows antimicrobial activity against bacteria and fungi (Phomopsis azadirachtae, Staphylococcus aureus) and also shows little hemolytic activity (Daneshmand et al, 2013).
