Description
Product Characteristics: For the quantitative determination of human β-defensins 3 concentrations in serum, plasma, cell culture supernates, urine, tissue homogenates.
Target Information: Defensins form a family of microbicidal and cytotoxic peptides made by neutrophils. Members of the defensin family are highly similar in protein sequence. This gene encodes defensin, beta 103B, which has broad spectrum antimicrobial activity and may play an important role in innate epithelial defense. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
