== Function Summary ==
* **Entrez Summary**: N/A
* **UniProt Summary**: Has antimicrobial activity against Gram-negative bacteria, and to a lesser extent also against Gram-positive bacteria and fungi. Protects blood cells against infection with HIV-1 (in vitro). Inhibits corticotropin (ACTH)-stimulated corticosterone production. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15616305, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15620707}.
