Vectors for Human DCD

Gene Information

  • Offical Gene Symbol DCD
  • Species Human (Homo sapiens)
  • Offical Full Name dermcidin
  • Other Aliases AIDD; DCD-1; DSEP; HCAP; PIF
  • Other Desigations dermcidin; diffusible survival/evasion peptide; preproteolysin; proteolysis inducing factor; survival promoting peptide
  • Gene Type protein-coding
  • Summary
    This antimicrobial gene encodes a secreted protein that is subsequently processed into mature peptides of distinct biological activities. The C-terminal peptide is constitutively expressed in sweat and has antibacterial and antifungal activities. The N-terminal peptide, also known as diffusible survival evasion peptide, promotes neural cell survival under conditions of severe oxidative stress. A glycosylated form of the N-terminal peptide may be associated with cachexia (muscle wasting) in cancer patients. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2014]
