NCBI Summary for DEFA5
Defensins are a family of antimicrobial and cytotoxic peptides thought to be involved in host defense. They are abundant in the granules of neutrophils and also found in the epithelia of mucosal surfaces such as those of the intestine, respiratory tract, urinary tract, and vagina. Members of the defensin family are highly similar in protein sequence and distinguished by a conserved cysteine motif. Several of the alpha defensin genes appear to be clustered on chromosome 8. The protein encoded by this gene, defensin, alpha 5, is highly expressed in the secretory granules of Paneth cells of the ileum. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2014]
UniProt Comments for DEFA5
DEFA5: Has antimicrobial activity against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. Defensins are thought to kill microbes by permeabilizing their plasma membrane. All DEFA5 peptides exert antimicrobial activities, but their potency is affected by peptide processing. Belongs to the alpha-defensin family.
Protein type: Secreted, signal peptide; Secreted
Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 8p23.1
Cellular Component: extracellular space; transport vesicle; Golgi lumen; extracellular region
Biological Process: killing of cells of another organism; antibacterial humoral response; innate immune response; defense response to fungus
