RL Sci. Rep. 7:45282-45282(2017).
CC -!- FUNCTION: Intestinal defense peptide (PubMed:23380721,
CC PubMed:28345637). Has potent antibacterial activity against Gram-
CC negative bacteria E.coli O157:H7, S.typhimurium DT104, and
CC K.pneumoniae; and against Gram-positive bacteria S.aureus, methicillin-
CC resistant S.aureus and L.monocytogenes (PubMed:23380721,
CC PubMed:28345637). Remains active in the presence of NaCl and Mg(2+)
CC (PubMed:23380721). Probably functions by disrupting bacterial membrane
CC integrity (PubMed:28345637). However, does not show cytotoxic activity
CC towards human intestinal cells (PubMed:23380721).
CC {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23380721, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28345637}.
CC -!- SUBUNIT: Antiparallel homodimer; disulfide-linked.
CC {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23380721, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28345637}.
CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted {ECO:0000305|PubMed:23380721,
CC ECO:0000305|PubMed:28345637}.
CC -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Specifically expressed in small intestine (jejunum
CC and ileum) (PubMed:15494476, PubMed:23380721). Probably expressed by
CC Paneth cells at the base of intestinal crypts (PubMed:23380721).
CC Coexpressed with MMP7 in small intestine (PubMed:23380721).
CC {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15494476, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23380721}.
CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the alpha-defensin family. {ECO:0000305}.
