Category: Cytokine
Application: N/A
Background: Defensins are a large family of peptides of which two groups exist in mammals: alpha defensins and beta defensins, which are distinguishable by the spacing and connectivity of the conserved cysteine residues within the mature peptides. It is thought that defensins function in the eradication of pathogens from the host system by inserting themselves into the bacterial membrane under the influence of membrane potential, forming channels which lead to leakage of cytoplasmic molecules and cell death.
Description: Recombinant beta Defensin-4 is a disulfide-linked monomer protein consisting of 51 amino acid residues, and migrates as an approximately 6 kDa protein under non-reducing and reducing conditions in SDS-PAGE. Optimized DNA sequence encoding Human beta Defensin-e mature chain was expressed in E. coli.
