Identification and pharmaceutical evaluation of novel frog skin-derived serine proteinase inhibitor peptide–PE-BBI (Pelophylax esculentus Bowman-Birk inhibitor) for the potential treatment of cancer
Abstract Amphibian venom-derived peptides have high potential in the field of anticancer drug discovery. We have isolated a novel Bowman-Birk proteinase inhibitor (BBI)-type peptide from the skin secretion of Pelophylax esculentus (PE) named PE-BBI, and evaluated its bio-functions and anti-cancer ac...

PE-BBI is a heptadecapeptide with C-terminal amidation. The mRNA sequence and primary structure of PE-BBI were identified using RT-PCR and LC/MS, respectively.
