Product Information

• Name: β-Defensin-1, human
• Synonyms: hBD-1, Asp-His-Tyr-Asn-Cys-Val-Ser-Ser-Gly-Gly-Gln-Cys-Leu-Tyr-Ser-Ala-Cys-Pro-Ile-Phe-Thr-Lys-Ile-Gln-Gly-Thr-Cys-Tyr-Arg-Gly-Lys-A la-Lys-Cys-Cys-Lys
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: β-Defensin-1 is a member of the α-defensin family of antimicrobial peptides. It has been shown to be an activator of the LPS receptor and is involved in the regulation of ion channels in cells. β-Defensin-1 is a ligand for the GPR37 receptor and inhibits protein synthesis, which may be due to its ability to bind to other proteins, such as chemokines. β-Defensin-1 also has antibacterial activity against some strains of bacteria, including Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Staphylococcus aureus. β-Defensin-1 is a high purity recombinant human protein that can be used as an inhibitor for pharmacological studies.
