Abstract

Host defense peptides are an important part of the innate immune system of animals, which are characterized by low molecular weight, good thermal stability and less susceptible to drug resistance. As a potential substitute for antibiotics, host defense peptides not only have biological activities such as anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and antiviral, but also have a variety of immunomodulatory effects. Fish are an important source of host defense peptides. However, a small number of host defense peptides from fish have been used in the study of antimicrobial activity, and other potential applications of host defense peptides from fish have not been thoroughly investigated. On the basis of the data source of host defense peptides from fish, this article systematically arranges and summarizes the classification of the fish host defense peptides, discusses the potential functions and their biological activities and applications, so as to provide theoretical reference for the further application of fish host defense peptides, as well as guide the development of new green feed additives and antimicrobial agents.
