Histatin 5 peptide

• Catalog Number: orb216646
• Category: Proteins
• Description: Histatin 5 peptide
• Form/Appearance: Lyophilized powder
• Purity: > 95%
• Protein Sequence: H-Asp-Ser-His-Ala-Lys-Arg-His-His-Gly-Tyr-Lys-Arg-Lys-Phe-His-Glu-Lys-His-His-Ser-His-Arg-Gly-Tyr-OH
• MW: 3036.36
• Application notes: Histatin-5, a salivary polypeptide, has been shown to inhibit clostripain (IC₅₀ = 800 nM) and a trypsin-like protease produced by Bacteroides gingivalis (IC₅₀ = 55 nM). Other proteases, however, have not been inhibited by histatin-5. This peptide was therefore suggested to be a preventive against periodontal disease. Histatin-5 exhibits antimicrobial and a distinct antifungal activity targetting fungal mitochondria.
