Product Description
Lactoferricin B (LfcinB for short) is a class of small-molecule antibacterial peptides containing tryptophan, which is produced by the hydrolysis of bovine lactoferrin (bLf) in the digestive tract by pepsin. Like other antimicrobial peptides, Lactoferricin B has a broad-spectrum bactericidal activity. In addition, it may also have a variety of biological functions such as inhibiting the proliferation of viruses and fungi, inhibiting tumor cells, and almost no toxicity to eukaryotic cells. Based on this selective effect and non-antigenic characteristics, Lactoferricin B is expected to become a new generation of new antibacterial, antiviral and antitumor drugs. Lactoferricin B (4-14) (bovine) is a peptide fragment composed of 11 amino acids in Lactoferricin B, which has good antibacterial activity.
