Figure 5From: Comparative analysis of septic injury-inducible genes in phylogenetically distant model organisms of regeneration and stem cell research, the planarian Schmidtea mediterranea and the cnidarian Hydra vulgarisA potential antimicrobial peptide in Hydra. We identified a Hydra cDNA (FC823225) that encodes a cationic peptide with predicted α-helical structure [67]. It shares significant similarities with antimicrobial esculentin-1B (P40844) from Rana esculenta.Back to article page
