1987 M. Zasloff in Proc. National Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 86 5450/2 The two components with highest specific activity were seen to be related but distinctly different peptides... They have been designated ‘magainins’ (derived from the Hebrew word ‘magain’ meaning ‘shield’), reflecting their possible function as an antimicrobial shield.
1990 Biochem. Pharmacol. 39 626/1 To simplify matters for this review, the umbrella term magainins or ‘magainin family of molecules’ refers to: Magainins 1 and 2; closely related chemical congeners possessing similar antimicrobial and probable host defense functions (e.g. PGLa, XPF, also originally described in frog skin); amphipathic or natural synthetic homologs which also produce ion channels in cell membranes resulting in antimicrobial or host defense activity.
1991 Proc. National Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 88 3793/1 Synthetic magainins A, B, and G..were at least 9-fold more potent than the natural magainin 2 structure.
1998 Biochemistry 37 11856 Magainin 2, an antimicrobial peptide from the Xenopus skin, kills bacteria by permeabilizing the cell membranes.
