AP-64, Encoded by <i>C5orf46</i>, Exhibits Antimicrobial Activity against Gram-Negative Bacteria

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), which are evolutionarily conserved components of the innate immune response, contribute to the first line of defense against microbes in the skin and at mucosal surfaces. Here, we report the identification of a human peptide, encoded by the chromosome 5 open reading fr...
