A novel crustin-like antimicrobial peptide (Crus-likePm) was identified from haemocytes of Penaeus monodon. The deduced amino acid sequence of a Crus-likePm consists of 124 amino acid residues of the mature peptide and a signal peptide of 17 amino acid residues. The mature peptide contains a glycine...
