Description
Antimicrobial peptides participate in the innate response, which may provide a barrier for protection against infection. The Dermcidin gene encodes an antimicrobial peptide DCD-1, which is constitutively expressed in sweat glands, secreted into the sweat, and transported to the epidermal surface. DCD-1 displays antimicrobial activity in response to a variety of pathogenic microorganisms. Overexpression of Dermcidin in breast cancers promotes cell growth and survival, and is coupled with a focal copy number gain of its locus on human chromosome 12q13.2
