Abstract
⺠BmKbpp possesses strong antimicrobial activity against the majority of tested bacteria and fungi with very weak hemolytic activity. ⺠BmKbpp markedly inhibits the superoxide production in granulocytes at low concentration. ⺠Both BmKbpp and the C-terminal region of BmKbpp possess bradykinin-potentiating activity. ⺠Multi-functionalization of a single peptide could be a new mechanism for the functional diversification of scorpion venom peptides.
