Indolicidin

Buy Indolicidin peptide – high-purity antimicrobial peptide for research.
Indolicidin supplier – bulk orders for antimicrobial studies.

Product Introduction:

Indolicidin is a naturally occurring antimicrobial peptide isolated from bovine neutrophils. Comprising 13 amino acids, it is one of the smallest known antimicrobial peptides. Indolicidin exhibits broad-spectrum activity against bacteria, fungi, and even viruses like HIV. Its mechanism involves disrupting microbial cell membranes, leading to cell death. Due to its potency and small size, Indolicidin is a valuable tool in antimicrobial research and potential therapeutic applications.

Main Functions and Benefits:

1. Broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity: Effective against a wide range of pathogens, including Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, fungi, and viruses.
2. Membrane-disruptive mechanism: Interacts with microbial membranes, causing destabilization and cell lysis.
3. Potential therapeutic applications: Investigated for use in treating infections and as a model for designing novel antimicrobial agents.
