== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/DEF5_HUMAN DEF5_HUMAN] 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.<ref>PMID:12021776</ref> <ref>PMID:15616305</ref> <ref>PMID:17088326</ref>
