''Tm''AFP is an hyperactive antifreeze protein and its origin is the Tenebrio Mollitor beetle.Due to ''Tm''AFP, Tenebrio Mollitor beetle has resistance against freezing - provides protection against physical and osmotic stresses.
The protein consists of 84 amino acids and the molecular weight is 8.4 kDA.
