About This Section
| EntrezGene summary for DCD: This gene encodes a secreted protein that is subsequently processed into mature peptides of distinct biological activities. The C-terminal peptide is constitutively expressed in sweat and has antibacterial and antifungal activities. The N-terminal peptide, also known as diffusible survival evasion peptide, promotes neural cell survival under conditions of severe oxidative stress. A glycosylated form of the N-terminal peptide may be associated with cachexia (muscle wasting) in cancer patients. [provided by RefSeq] UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: DCD_HUMAN, P81605Function: Survival-promoting peptide promotes survival of neurons and displays phosphatase activity. It may bind IgGGene Wiki entry for DCD |
