Defensins are thought to kill microbes by permeabilizing their plasma membrane. All DEFA5 peptides exert antimicrobial activities, but their potency is affected by peptide processing. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12021776, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15616305, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17088326}. |Defensin propep| |Defensin 1| |membrane disruption in other organism| |innate immune response in mucosa| |positive regulation of membrane permeability| |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| |regulation of membrane permeability| |defense response to Gram-negative bacterium| |cell killing| |transport vesicle| |defense response to Gram-positive bacterium| |Golgi lumen| |antimicrobial humoral response| |secretory granule lumen| |modification of morphology or physiology of other organism| |cellular response to lipopolysaccharide| |cellular response to molecule of bacterial origin| |cellular response to biotic stimulus| |response to lipopolysaccharide| |response to molecule of bacterial origin| |defense response to bacterium| |humoral immune response| |cellular response to lipid| |response to bacterium| |innate immune response| |interspecies interaction between organisms| |response to lipid| |protein homodimerization activity| |defense response to other organism| |cellular response to oxygen-containing compound| |response to other organism| |response to external biotic stimulus| |response to biotic stimulus| |defense response| |response to oxygen-containing compound| |extracellular space| |immune response| |extracellular region| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp232|Epothilone-D 0.004 to 0.006μM on day4 R05 exp232]]|-1.75| No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics.
