Anti-Alpha Defensin-5 (HD5) Antibody, clone 8C8

Descrição detalhada : Human alpha defensin-5 (HD5) is one of six peptides belonging to the alpha defensin family. Defensins are small peptides involved in immunological defense against viral and microbial infections through either direct interaction with pathogens or in combination with other immune system factors. There are three subfamilies of defensins (alpha, beta, and theta). alpha defensins are only observed in mammals and are mainly beta-sheet structures. Alpha defensin-5 (HD5) is primarily expressed in the Paneth cells found within the small intestine, and has been shown to possess activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative microbes. Studies have shown alpha defensin-5 (HD5) to be a strong antagonist towards human Papillomavirus infection. It may also play a role Crohn's disease.
