Pleurocidin is an antimicrobial peptide found in the mucus secreted by the skin of the winter flounder (Pleuronectes americanus). It exhibits broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. Pleurocidin assumes an amphipathic alpha-helical conformation similar to other linear antimicrobial peptides and may play a role in innate host defence.
