Has antimicrobial activity against Gram- negative and Gram-positive bacteria. Defensins are thought to kill microbes by permeabilizing their plasma membrane. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15616305, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15894545, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17452329, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2006422}. |Defensin 1| |Defensin propep| |membrane disruption in other organism| |innate immune response in mucosa| |intracellular estrogen receptor signaling pathway| |mucosal immune response| |organ or tissue specific immune response| |defense response to fungus| |antibacterial humoral response| |response to fungus| |killing of cells of other organism| |disruption of cells of other organism| |antimicrobial humoral immune response mediated by antimicrobial peptide| |intracellular steroid hormone receptor signaling pathway| |defense response to Gram-negative bacterium| |cell killing| |azurophil granule lumen| |defense response to Gram-positive bacterium| |Golgi lumen| |antimicrobial humoral response| |steroid hormone mediated signaling pathway| |modification of morphology or physiology of other organism| |intracellular receptor signaling pathway| |hormone-mediated signaling pathway| |cellular response to lipopolysaccharide| |cellular response to steroid hormone stimulus| |defense response to virus| |cellular response to molecule of bacterial origin| |cellular response to biotic stimulus| |response to virus| |response to lipopolysaccharide| |response to molecule of bacterial origin| |response to steroid hormone| |defense response to bacterium| |humoral immune response| |cellular response to lipid| |cellular response to organic cyclic compound| |cellular response to hormone stimulus| |response to bacterium| |molecular function| |innate immune response| |interspecies interaction between organisms| |response to lipid| |protein homodimerization activity| |response to hormone| |response to organic cyclic compound| |defense response to other organism| |cellular response to oxygen-containing compound| |immune effector process| |cellular response to endogenous stimulus| |response to other organism| |response to external biotic stimulus| |response to biotic stimulus| |defense response| |response to endogenous stimulus| |response to oxygen-containing compound| |extracellular space| |immune response| |extracellular region| \\ === CRISPR Data === No hits were found.
