CC   -!- FUNCTION: Has antifungal activity and antibacterial activity against
CC       Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Involved in the process of
CC       food preservation in the stomach during the incubation fast. May also
CC       be present during infection. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14525994}.
CC   -!- SUBUNIT: Monomer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14525994}.
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14525994}.
CC   -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Secreted into the stomach cavity.
CC   -!- MASS SPECTROMETRY: Mass=4482.8; Method=MALDI;
CC       Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:14525994};
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the beta-defensin family. {ECO:0000305}.
