Description Antifreeze Polypeptide 6 (winter flounder) also called AFP 6 (winter flounder), HPLC 6 (winter flounder), have in common the ability to lower the freezing point of blood serum, thus allowing fish to survive in subzero ocean temperatures. The type I AFPs are present in the blood of winter flounder, yellowtail flounder, Alaskan plaice and the shorthorn and grubby sculpin. Antifreeze Polypeptide 6 (winter flounder) isolated from the winter flounder, Pseudopleuronectes americanus, consists of 37 amino acids arranged in three 11-residue repeats which tend to form α-helices.
