Overview of the amino acid sequence of the 5 bovine cathelicidins found.

<p>The red-colored amino acids designates the signaling peptide, the green-colored amino acids the cathelin-like domain and the black-colored amino acids the antimicrobial peptide. Bold amino acids are identical in >50% of the sequences, normal capitals show amino acids occurring in multiple sequences ad lower case amino acids occur in only one sequence. The peptides which were identified are underlined, and the yellow marking shows the peptides used for quantification. For comparison, also the amino acid sequence of the human cathelicidin is shown.
