A peptide derived from the highly conserved protein GAPDH is involved in tissue protection by different antifungal strategies and epithelial immunomodulation

Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) plays an important role in glycolysis but also in non-metabolic processes, including transcription activation and apoptosis. We report the isolation of an hGAPDH (2-32) fragment peptide from human placental tissue exhibiting antimicrobial activity. Th...
