Brevinin vs Defensin

Brevinin vs Defensin — mechanism, half-life, dosing, and research status compared. Which is right for your protocol?

Brevinin
Antimicrobial Peptide

Brevinin peptides are a family of antimicrobial peptides isolated from the skin secretions of Rana esculenta (European edible frog) and related Rana species. They are characterized by a C-terminal disulfide-bridged cyclic heptapeptide (Rana box) that confers structural stability ...

Defensin
Antimicrobial Peptide

Defensins are a superfamily of small, cysteine-rich cationic antimicrobial peptides that form a critical component of innate immunity across virtually all multicellular organisms. In humans, alpha-defensins (HNP-1 to -4 in neutrophils; HD-5, HD-6 in intestinal Paneth cells) and b...
