Sequence ATCYCRRGRCATRESLSGVCEISGRLYRLCCR

Sequence Length 32

UniProt ID Q01523

Source Synthetic construct(derived from human alpha defensin(HD5))

Activity Information

Target Organism HSV

Assay Plaque assay

Activity

[Ref.23269800]Herpes simplex virus2(HSV-2):neutralization activity against HSV-2 during the preinfection stage(IC50=40 μg/ml);

Hemolytic Activity No hemolysis information or data found in the reference(s) presented in this entry

Cytotoxicity

[Ref.23269800]No cytotoxicity against CaSki cells up to 100μg/ ml.

Binding Target capsid protein gD

Mechanism The interaction between peptide and viral capsid proteins may cause aggregation of virions to prevent viruses from normal binding to target cells. Another possibility is that the binding of HD5 derivatives to the virion envelope blocks the epitopes of interaction between viruses and cell receptors, which are necessary for viral adsorption or entry into host cells.
