| Defensins are cationic peptides with a large spectrum of antimicrobial activity that comprise an important arm of the innate immune system. The Alpha defensins are differentiated from the Beta-defensins by the pairing of their 3 disulfide bonds. Four human Beta-defensins have been identified to date; BD-1, BD-2, BD-3 and BD-4. Beta-defensins are expressed on some leukocytes and at epithelial surfaces. In addition to their direct antimicrobial activities, they are chemoattractant towards immature dendritic cells and memory T cells. Beta-defensin proteins are expressed as the C-terminal portion of precursors and are released by proteolytic cleavage of a signal sequence (for BD-1 a propeptide region). Beta-defensins contain a six-cysteine motif that forms three intra-molecular disulfide bonds. Beta Defensin-4 Human Recombinant produced in E. coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 50aa. The BD-4 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. | | | Catalog # | B0903-26C | | Source | Recombinant corresponding to human BD-4, expressed in E. coli. | | AA Sequence | EFELDRICGY GTARCRKKCR SQEYRIGRCP NTYACCLRKW DESLLNRTKP | | Molecular Weight | ~6kD | | Biological Activity | Determined by its ability to chemoattract human monocytes using a concentration range of 0.1-50ng/ml. | | Storage and Stability | Lyophilized powder may be stored at -20°C.
