Pleurocidin is an antimicrobial peptide found in the mucus secreted by the skin of the winter flounder (Pleuronectes americanus). It exhibits broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. [1] Pleurocidin assumes an amphipathic alpha-helical conformation similar to other linear antimicrobial peptides and may play a role in innate host defence. [2]
Pleurocidin has been noted for its potential use in food safety, in part due to its heat stable properties and clinically demonstrated effectiveness against common food-borne microorganisms. [3]
