Abstract
⺠Mammals, insects, plants and fungi produce various antimicrobial proteins (AMPs). ⺠This review focuses on small, cysteine-rich antifungal proteins. ⺠Their antifungal spectrum, structure and mode of action are described. ⺠Additional biological functions based on their signalling activity are highlighted. ⺠The multitude of functions endows AMPs with great medical/biotechnological potential.
