Cathelicidins are a gene family of antimicrobial peptides produced as inactive precursors. Signal peptidase removes the N-terminal signal sequence, while peptidylglycine a-amidating monooxygenase often amidates and cleaves the C-terminal region. Removal of the cathelin domain liberates the active an
