Overview
Griffithsin, is a protein isolated from the red algae Griffithsia. It has a 121-amino acid sequence.[1] It has been shown in vitro to be a highly potent HIV entry inhibitor. It is currently being investigated as a potential microbicide for use in the prevention of the transmission of HIV.[2]
