Background:

β-defensins (also designated BD, and hBD in human) are small cationic peptides with broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. Produced in mucosal epithelia and neutrophils of several species, β-defensins are developmentally regulated. Research indicates that human β-defensin 1 may contribute to the antimicrobial activity of airway surface fluid and may play a role in the mucosal defenses of the lung. Human β-defensin 1 shares homology with other β-defensins from human blood filtrate and is also present in nanomolar concentrations in human plasma. In addition to the antimicrobial activity of human airway epithelia, β-defensin 1 may play a role in the mucosal defenses of the lung.

Specificity:

DEFB1 polyclonal antibody detects endogenous levels of DEFB1 protein.
