PreIndolicidin (pre-Cathelicidin-4) may function by a carrier mechanism to selectively transport anions (Rokitskaya et al., 2011).  The pig (ovine) homologue (SMAP29) is the source from which ovispirin, novispirin and novicidin, which may form torroidal pores, are derived (Sawai et al. 2002). Peptides, indolicidin, aurein 1.2, magainin II, cecropin A and LL-37 all cause a general acceleration of essential lipid transport processes without altering the overall structure of the lipid membranes or creating organized pore-like structures (Nielsen et al. 2020). Rapid scrambling of the lipid composition associated with enhanced lipid transport may trigger lethal signaling processes and enhance ion transport.
