BD1 protein

Cat. Num. AAA539417

• Gene Names: DEFB1; BD1; HBD1; DEFB-1; DEFB101
• Purity: >98% by SDS-PAGE gel and HPLC analysis
• Synonyms: BD1; BD1 protein; BD-1 protein; beta-Defensin 1 protein; BD 1 protein; BD-1; BD 1; BD1 active protein

• Host: E.Coli
• Purity/Purification: >98% by SDS-PAGE gel and HPLC analysis
• Form/Format: Lyophilized from 10mM sodium Citrate, pH 4.0. Reconstitute in 10mM Acetic Acid to 0.1-1.0mg/ml

• Grade: Recombinant
• Biohazard: Use standard laboratory precautions when handling this material.
• Biological Significance: Defensins (alpha and beta) are cationic peptides with a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity that comprise an important arm of the innate immune system. The a-defensins are distinguished from the beta-defensins by the pairing of their three disulfide bonds. To date, four human beta-defensins have been identified; BD-1, BD-2, BD-3 and BD-4. beta-defensins are expressed on some leukocytes and at epithelial surfaces. In addition to their direct antimicrobial activities, they are chemoattractant towards immature dendritic cells and memory T cells.
• Preparation and Storage: Ships on blue ice. Upon receipt store at 4°C short term, -20°C long term. Avoid repeat freeze-thaws.

NCBI Description

Defensins form a family of microbicidal and cytotoxic peptides made by neutrophils. Members of the defensin family are highly similar in protein sequence. This gene encodes defensin, beta 1, an antimicrobial peptide implicated in the resistance of epithelial surfaces to microbial colonization. This gene maps in close proximity to defensin family member, defensin, alpha 1 and has been implicated in the pathogenesis of cystic fibrosis. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
