Defensin are 3-4 kDa antimicrobial peptides of which three distinct families have been identified; alpha -defensin, beta -defensins, andinsect defensins. Mouse beta -Defensin 1, as a member of the beta -defensin family, is a salt-sensitive antimicrobial peptide present inepithelia of the lung and urogenital tract. The predicted amino acid sequence shows the hallmark features of other knownepithelial beta -defensins, including the ordered array of six cysteine residues. It likely plays an important role in innate immunity atmultiple mucosal sites in a number of reports. MW: 5.2 kDa. Purity > 97% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses
