About This Section
| Entrez Gene summary for DEFB104A: Defensins form a family of microbicidal and cytotoxic peptides made by neutrophils. Defensins are short, processedpeptide molecules that are classified by structure into three groups: alpha-defensins, beta-defensins andtheta-defensins. All beta-defensin genes are densely clustered in four to five syntenic chromosomal regions.Chromosome 8p23 contains at least two copies of the duplicated beta-defensin cluster. This duplication results in twoidentical copies of defensin, beta 104, DEFB104A and DEFB104B, in head-to-head orientation. This gene, DEFB104A,represents the more centromeric copy. (provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008) UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: D104A_HUMAN, Q8WTQ1Function: Has antimicrobial activity. Synergistic effects with lysozyme and DEFB103 Gene Wiki entry for DEFB104A
