Description

Defensins are a family of small (3 to 4 kD) cationic peptides exhibiting broad spectrum antimicrobial activities against bacteria and fungi. The defensins are divided into alpha- and beta-defensins based on the sequence relationship of 6 conserved cysteine residues. The human alpha-defensins HNP1 to HNP4 are stored in the azurophil granules of phagocytic leukocytes playing a role in the killing of ingested microorganisms, whereas the alpha-defensins HD5 and HD6 are expressed in epithelial cells of the small intestine
