Antimicrobial peptide with potent activity towards many Gram-positive, and Gram-negative bacteria, as well as potent activity towards yeasts (C.albicans, C.tropicalis, and C.neoformans) . Inhibits biofilm formation of A.baumannii and Staphylococcus spp. bacteria. Also shows potent mast cell degranulation activity and potent hemolytic activity of rat erythrocytes . Its mast cell degranulation activity may be related to the activation of G-protein coupled receptors in mast cells as well as interaction with other proteins located in cell endosomal membranes in the mast cells. Due to its potent hemolytic activity, its cytotoxicity has not been tested towards cancer and non-cancer cells (in contrast to its NeuroVal analog). Does not show chemotaxis for polymorphonucleated leukocytes (PMNL). In vivo, has antinociceptive activity when intracerebroventricularly injected into mice
