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, P81605
Function: Survival-promoting peptide promotes survival of neurons and displays phosphatase
activity. It may bind IgG
