Expression:
Q01523 DEF5_HUMAN:

Paneth cells of the small intestine (at protein level).

Description:
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.

Research Backgrounds

Function:

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.

PTMs:

Glycosylated.

Subcellular Location:

Secreted. Cytoplasmic vesicle>Secretory vesicle.
Note: Peptides HD5(20-94), HD5(23-94) and HD5(29-94) are found within tissues, HD5(20-94) being the predominant intracellular form. Peptides HD5(56-94) and HD5(63-94) are found in the extracellular milieu, HD5(63-94) being the most abundant form.
