[thrombin-induced platelet microbicidal proteins] These antimicrobial proteins (see also: kinocidins) disrupt microbial membranes but their action differs from that of defensins (Yeaman et al, 1998). The proteins are released by mammalian platelets after stimulation with thrombin. For examples see: thrombocidin-1, thrombocidin-2, Platelet microbicidal protein 1.
For other proteins/peptides with functions in innate immunity and/or antimicrobial activities see also: Innate immunity and defense peptides Dictionary.
