Background

Human BD-2, also known as defensin beta 2 (DEFB-2), is a secreted, 41 amino acid residue anti-microbial protein belonging to the defensin family. Mature defensins are cationic proteins with three intramolecular disulfides and a characteristic triple-stranded beta -sheet. Human BD-2 expression is induced by inflammatory signals in multiple tissues, including airway epithelial cells and keratinocytes. At the amino acid sequence level, human BD-2 shares 98% and 51% homology with the proteins from rhesus monkey and rat, respectively.

Limitations

This product is for research use only and is not approved for use in humans or in clinical diagnosis. Primary Antibodies are guaranteed for 1 year from date of receipt.
