Related Product Information for anti-DEFA4 antibody
Alpha defensins belong together with the beta-defensins to the family of cationic trisulfide-containing microbicidal peptides. They exert their microbicidal activity by permeating the membrane involving the formation of voltage regulated ion channels. Rabbit neutrophils contain large amount of alpha defensins (Neutrophil Defensin) NP 1-6. Defensins constitute more than 15% of total protein in rabbit neutrophils and are accumulated in dense cytoplasmic granules. Rabbit neutrophils express all six rabbit alpha-defensins, NP 1-6. Among myeloid rabbit alpha-defensins NP 1-6, NP 3-6 are neutrophil specific, while NP 1-2 are expressed in rabbit alveolar macrophages. Defensins are relatively resistant to proteolysis, low pH and boiling. Rabbit neutrophil defensins, whose three-dimensional structures are very similar to those of human alpha defensins may be helpful in understanding the role of antimicrobial peptides in innate and acquired immunity and in the studies on the role of neutrophils in pathological situations and in various rabbit models of human diseases.

NCBI Description

Defensins are a family of microbicidal 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 alpha defensin genes are clustered on chromosome 8. This gene differs from other genes of this family by an extra 83-base segment that is apparently the result of a recent duplication within the coding region. The protein encoded by this gene, defensin, alpha 4, is found in the neutrophils; it exhibits corticostatic activity and inhibits corticotropin stimulated corticosterone production.

Uniprot Description

DEFA4: Has antimicrobial activity against Gram-negative bacteria, and to a lesser extent also against Gram-positive bacteria and fungi. Protects blood cells against infection with HIV-1 (in vitro). Inhibits corticotropin (ACTH)-stimulated corticosterone production. Belongs to the alpha-defensin family.

Protein type: Secreted; Secreted, signal peptide

Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 8p23

Cellular Component: extracellular space; Golgi lumen; extracellular region

Biological Process: killing of cells of another organism; antibacterial humoral response; innate immune response; defense response to fungus

Product Notes

The DEFA4 defa4 (Catalog #AAA603525) is an Antibody produced from Mouse and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Neutrophil Defensin 5 (NP5) reacts with Rabbit and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's Neutrophil Defensin 5 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, ELISA (EL/EIA), Western Blot (WB), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Flow Cytometry (FC/FACS). Suitable for use in ELISA, Western Blot, Flow Cytometry and Immunohistochemistry. Dilution: Western Blot: 1:10 Flow Cytometry: 1:10 Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin, frozen): 1:10. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the DEFA4 defa4 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Neutrophil Defensin 5, Monoclonal Antibody" 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.
