Tachyplesin I is an antimicrobial peptide originally detected in the extract of hemocytes from the Japanese horseshoe crab. It inhibits the growth of both Gramnegative and -positive bacteria and forms a complex with bacterial lipopolysaccharides.

Furthermore this peptide has been shown to have antiviral activity against vesicular stomatitis virus, influenza A virus and HIV-1.
