This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: answers_antimicrobial peptides and enzymes, cathelicidins (Produced by skin and mucosal epithelial cells.) actions Directly toxic to a variety of microorganisms., Antimicrobial Enzymes and Peptides examples lysozyme (Found in in tears, mucous, saliva, plasma, tissue fluid, etc.), hydrochloric acid and enzymes (Found in gastric secretions.) action Destroy microbes that are swallowed., lactic and fatty acids (Found in perspiration and sebaceous secretions.) action Inhibit microbes on the skin., human defensins (Found in body secretions, plasma and tissue fluid.) actions Directly toxic by disrupting the cytoplasmic membrane of a variety of microorganisms causing leakage of cellular needs., Antimicrobial Enzymes and Peptides examples lactic and fatty acids (Found in perspiration and sebaceous secretions.), Antimicrobial Enzymes and Peptides examples lactoferrin and transferrin (Found in body secretions, plasma, and tissue fluid.), lactoferrin and transferrin (Found in body secretions, plasma, and tissue fluid.) action Trap iron for use by human cells while preventing its use by microorganisms., Antimicrobial Enzymes and Peptides examples hydrochloric acid and enzymes (Found in gastric secretions.), human defensins (Found in body secretions, plasma and tissue fluid.) actions Activate cells for an inflammatory response., Antimicrobial Enzymes and Peptides examples phospholipase A2 (Found in body secretions, plasma and tissue fluid.), Antimicrobial Enzymes and Peptides examples cathelicidins (Produced by skin and mucosal epithelial cells.), cathelicidins (Produced by skin and mucosal epithelial cells.) actions Bind to and neutralize LPS from gram-negative cell walls to reduce inflammation., human defensins (Found in body secretions, plasma and tissue fluid.) actions Disrupt the envelopes of some viruses., Antimicrobial Enzymes and Peptides examples human defensins (Found in body secretions, plasma and tissue fluid.), phospholipase A2 (Found in body secretions, plasma and tissue fluid.) action Hydrolizes the phospholipids in the bacterial cytoplasmic membrane causing leakage of cellular needs., lysozyme (Found in in tears, mucous, saliva, plasma, tissue fluid, etc.) action Breaks down bacterial peptidoglycan causing osmotic lysis.
