May act as a ligand for C-C chemokine receptor CCR6. Positively regulates the sperm motility and bactericidal activity in a CCR6-dependent manner. Binds to CCR6 and triggers Ca2+ mobilization in the sperm which is important for its motility (PubMed:25122636). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25122636}. |Defensin beta| |positive regulation of flagellated sperm motility involved in capacitation| |microvesicle| |CCR6 chemokine receptor binding| |positive regulation of cilium-dependent cell motility| |positive regulation of flagellated sperm motility| |regulation of flagellated sperm motility| |innate immune response in mucosa| |sperm midpiece| |regulation of cilium-dependent cell motility| |calcium-mediated signaling using intracellular calcium source| |sperm capacitation| |mucosal immune response| |organ or tissue specific immune response| |antibacterial humoral response| |antimicrobial humoral immune response mediated by antimicrobial peptide| |extrinsic component of membrane| |positive regulation of reproductive process| |defense response to Gram-negative bacterium| |defense response to Gram-positive bacterium| |Golgi lumen| |antimicrobial humoral response| |calcium-mediated signaling| |cAMP-mediated signaling| |spermatid development| |spermatid differentiation| |cell maturation| |regulation of reproductive process| |cyclic-nucleotide-mediated signaling| |developmental maturation| |germ cell development| |defense response to bacterium| |second-messenger-mediated signaling| |humoral immune response| |cellular process involved in reproduction in multicellular organism| |positive regulation of cell motility| |positive regulation of cellular component movement| |spermatogenesis| |chemotaxis| |taxis| |positive regulation of locomotion| |male gamete generation| |developmental process involved in reproduction| |response to bacterium| |gamete generation| |innate immune response| |multicellular organismal reproductive process| |sexual reproduction| |multicellular organism reproduction| |regulation of cell motility| |defense response to other organism| |regulation of locomotion| |regulation of cellular component movement| |multi-organism reproductive process| |identical protein binding| |response to other organism| |response to external biotic stimulus| |locomotion| |G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway| |response to biotic stimulus| |defense response| |reproductive process| |reproduction| |extracellular space| |cell development| |intracellular signal transduction| |immune response| |extracellular region| \\ === CRISPR Data === No hits were found.
