About This Section
| Entrez Gene summary for DEFB118: This gene encodes a member of the beta subfamily of defensins. Beta-defensins are antimicrobial peptides that protecttissues and organs from infection by a variety of microorganisms. Expression of this gene is regulated by androgen,and the encoded protein binds to sperm and exhibits antibacterial activity. This gene is found in a cluster with otherbeta-defensin genes on the long arm of chromosome 20.
