Temporins

This article is about peptides from frogs. For elephant temporal gland secretion, see Temporin.

Temporins are a family of peptides isolated originally from the skin secretion of the European red frog, Rana temporaria.[1] Peptides belonging to the temporin family have been isolated also from closely related North American frogs, such as Rana sphenocephala.[2]
