文摘Antimicrobial peptides are widely distributed in nature,existing in organisms of plants,insects,and vertebrates.It has been approved that antimicrobial peptides have broad spectrum antimicrobial activities,and play a key modulatory role in the innate immune response and tumor inhibiting activity.Due to the special action mechanism,the antimicrobial peptides become a hot field of genetic engineering.In the present paper,the general properties,mechanism of action,application value,existing problems,the latest progress and the expression strategy were discussed.
