Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 22573326
FunctionFunction
[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.[1] [2] [3]
