Rabbit Anti-DEFB135/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
Beta-defensins are small cationic peptides with broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against a variety of enveloped viruses, fungi and bacteria. Produced in mucosal epithelia and neutrophils of several species, Beta-defensins are developmentally regulated. The family of Beta-defensin proteins share a common defensin-motif that is characterized by multiple cysteine residues and a highly conserved tertiary structure. Besides playing a significant role in host immune defense, many Beta-defensins are also involved in sperm maturation and capacitation. Beta-defensin 135, also designated Beta-defensin 136, is a 77 amino acid member of the Beta-defensin protein family. Beta-defensin 135 is a secreted protein believed to have antibacterial activity.
