Activity:
Antimicrobial peptide found in saliva
Histatin 8, or hemagglutination inhibiting peptide (HIP) is a 12 amino acid histidine rich cationic human salivary peptide, formed with histatin 5 from post-translational cleavage of histatin 3. Histatins function as antimicrobial peptides and are important components of the innate immune system.
