• Description: β-Defensin-4 is a human defensin that belongs to the class of β-defensins. It has been found in a wide range of tissues, such as the skin and respiratory tract. β-Defensin-4 is a small, cationic peptide with an amphipathic structure. It binds to cell membranes and forms ion channels that allow ions to flow into the cell. The channel formed by β-defensin-4 is selective for monovalent cations such as Na+, K+, and Ca2+. β-Defensin-4 has been shown to be an activator of G protein coupled receptors and may play a role in inflammatory responses.
