At present, a series of antimicrobial peptide with novel structures and unique function were isolated from frog resources, which are potential resources for anti-infective and diabetes therapeutic drug. By literature retrieval and induction, the progress in research of antimicrobial peptide from the skins of frog was reviewed in this paper. Key words: the skin of frog; antimicrobial peptide; insulin-releasing; activity
