== Function Summary ==
* **Entrez Summary**: N/A
* **UniProt Summary**: Defensin 2 and defensin 3 have antibiotic, fungicide and antiviral activities. 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}.
