This family of
antibacterialpeptides are
secreted from the granular
dorsal glands of Litoria aurea (Green and golden bell frog), Litoria raniformis (Southern bell frog), Litoria citropa (Australian blue mountains tree frog) and frogs from
genusUperoleia. Amongst the more active of these are aurein 1.2,[1] aurein 2.2 and aurein 3.1; caerin 1.1, maculatin 1.1, uperin 3.6;[2] citropin 1.1, citropin 1.2, citropin 1.3 and a minor peptide are wide-spectrum antibacterial
peptides.[3][4]
