histatins

histatins
Family of small histidine-rich cationic proteins (ranging from 7- 8 amino acids in length) secreted into saliva by parotid and sub-mandibular glands. Have potent antifungal activity, particularly against Candida albicans, though the mechanism of their fungicidal activity is unclear.
