Vectors for Human DEFA5

Gene Information

  • Offical Gene Symbol DEFA5
  • Species Human (Homo sapiens)
  • Offical Full Name defensin alpha 5
  • Other Aliases DEF5; HD-5
  • Other Desigations defensin alpha 5; HD5(20-94); defensin, alpha 5, Paneth cell-specific; defensin, alpha 5, preproprotein; defensin-5
  • Gene Type protein-coding
  • Summary
    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. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2014]
