An Entity of Type: protein, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The antifungal protein family is a protein family, with members sharing a structure consisting of five antiparallel beta strands which are highly twisted creating a beta barrel stabilised by four internal disulphide bridges. A cationic site adjacent to a hydrophobic stretch on the protein surface may constitute a phospholipid binding site. Human epithelium produce antifungal proteins. The proteins kill fungi by inducing apoptosis and/or forming pores on the cell membrane.
