BD-3 (Human) LumiAb ELISA Kit
Background/Introduction: Human BD-3, also known as Beta-Defensin 3, is a 67 amino acid cytokine protein encoded by the DEFB103A gene located at locus 8p23.1 on chromosome 8. After signal sequence processing and maturation, the cytokine becomes 45 amino acid residues long (from 23 to 67). Human BD-3 is known to exhibit antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive bacteria, S.aureus and S.pyogenes, Gram-negative bacteria P.aeruginosa and E.coli and the yeast C.albicans. Moreover, the cytokine kills multiresistant S.aureus and vancomycin-resistant E.faecium. This particular BD protein is expressed highly in skin and tonsils, and to a lesser extent in trachea, uterus, kidney, thymus, adenoid, pharynx and tongue. It has much lower expression in salivary glands, bone marrow, colon, stomach, polyps and larynx along with no expression in the small intestine. Furthermore, induction of BD-3 is achieved through bacterial infection or detection of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and by IFN-gamma.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
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 103, which has broad spectrum antimicrobial activity and may play an important role in innate epithelial defense. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2014]
Uniprot Description
defensin, beta 3: Exhibits antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive bacteria S.aureus and S.pyogenes, Gram-negative bacteria P.aeruginosa and E.coli and the yeast C.albicans. Kills multiresistant S.aureus and vancomycin-resistant E.faecium. No significant hemolytic activity was observed. Belongs to the beta-defensin family.

Product Notes
The Human BD-3 defb103a (Catalog #AAA9510758) is a CLIA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA9510758 CLIA Kit recognizes Human BD-3. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "BD-3, CLIA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
