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:17452329}. |Defensin propep| |Defensin 1| |modification by symbiont of host structure| |modification of cellular component in other organism involved in symbiotic interaction| |modification by organism of membrane in other organism involved in symbiotic interaction| |modification of structure of other organism involved in symbiotic interaction| |modification by symbiont of host cell membrane| |modification by symbiont of host cellular component| |pore formation in membrane of other organism during symbiotic interaction| |pore formation in membrane of other organism| |membrane disruption in other organism| |disruption by host of symbiont cells| |T cell chemotaxis| |disruption of cells of other organism involved in symbiotic interaction| |innate immune response in mucosa| |intracellular estrogen receptor signaling pathway| |defense response to protozoan| |response to protozoan| |T cell migration| |mucosal immune response| |organ or tissue specific immune response| |defense response to fungus| |antibacterial humoral response| |modification by symbiont of host morphology or physiology| |lymphocyte chemotaxis| |response to fungus| |disruption of cells of other organism| |killing of cells of other organism| |antimicrobial humoral immune response mediated by antimicrobial peptide| |lymphocyte migration| |intracellular steroid hormone receptor signaling pathway| |modification by host of symbiont morphology or physiology| |interaction with symbiont| |defense response to Gram-negative bacterium| |cell killing| |azurophil granule lumen| |defense response to Gram-positive bacterium| |Golgi lumen| |modification of morphology or physiology of other organism involved in symbiotic interaction| |antimicrobial humoral response| |steroid hormone mediated signaling pathway| |leukocyte chemotaxis| |modification of morphology or physiology of other organism| |interaction with host| |intracellular receptor signaling pathway| |hormone-mediated signaling pathway| |cellular response to lipopolysaccharide| |cellular response to steroid hormone stimulus| |cellular response to molecule of bacterial origin| |defense response to virus| |cell chemotaxis| |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| |collagen-containing extracellular matrix| |leukocyte migration| |neutrophil degranulation| |neutrophil activation involved in immune response| |neutrophil mediated immunity| |neutrophil activation| |granulocyte activation| |leukocyte degranulation| |myeloid leukocyte mediated immunity| |cellular response to lipid| |myeloid cell activation involved in immune response| |cellular response to organic cyclic compound| |chemotaxis| |taxis| |myeloid leukocyte activation| |cellular response to hormone stimulus| |leukocyte activation involved in immune response| |cell activation involved in immune response| |response to bacterium| |regulated exocytosis| |innate immune response| |leukocyte mediated immunity| |symbiotic process| |exocytosis| |interspecies interaction between organisms| |response to lipid| |response to hormone| |response to organic cyclic compound| |leukocyte activation| |defense response to other organism| |cell migration| |secretion by cell| |export from cell| |cellular response to oxygen-containing compound| |cell activation| |localization of cell| |cell motility| |immune effector process| |secretion| |cellular response to endogenous stimulus| |response to other organism| |response to external biotic stimulus| |locomotion| |response to biotic stimulus| |defense response| |response to endogenous stimulus| |movement of cell or subcellular component| |response to oxygen-containing compound| |extracellular space| |immune response| |extracellular region| |vesicle-mediated transport| \\ === CRISPR Data === No hits were found.
