Function

TPL_RANTE Amphipathic alpha-helical antimicrobial peptide with potent activity against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, and against fungi (PubMed:12133008, PubMed:16867990, PubMed:18370376, PubMed:31358802, PubMed:9022710). Mainly acts by causing perturbation of bilayer integrity of both neutral and negatively charged membranes, probably by forming pore-like openings (PubMed:12133008, PubMed:31358802). Also displays anti-leishmania activity by damaging parasite membrane (By similarity). Shows hemolytic activity (PubMed:12133008). Also shows cytotoxicity against cancer cell lines (PubMed:12133008). Strongly binds to lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and its lipid A portion (Probable) (PubMed:16801429). Improves temporin-A and temporin-B activities by preventing their homo-oligomerization in LPS (PubMed:16867990, PubMed:21586570). In vivo, its simultaneous administration with beta-lactam antibiotics produces the highest antimicrobial activities and the strongest reduction in plasma LPS and TNF-alpha levels, resulting in the highest survival rates in rat models of septic shock (PubMed:16801429).[UniProtKB:P56917][UniProtKB:P79874]^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]}
