Exhibits a potent RNase activity (PubMed: 12244054, PubMed: 12527768, PubMed: 17150966). Has broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against many pathogenic microorganisms and remarkably potent activity (lethal dose of 90% < 30 nM) against a vancomycin resistant Enterococcus faecium (PubMed: 12244054, PubMed: 12527768, PubMed: 25075772, PubMed: 17150966). Causes loss of bacterial membrane integrity (PubMed: 17150966). Probably contributes to urinary tract sterility (PubMed: 25075772). Bactericidal activity is independent of RNase activity (PubMed: 17150966).
