Description
DEFA1/DEFA3 Antibody (PACO19274)
The DEFA1-DEFA3 Polyclonal Antibody (PAC019274) is a valuable tool for researchers studying the DEFA1 and DEFA3 genes, which encode for key components of the immune system known as defensins. These small peptides play a crucial role in the innate immune response, providing protection against pathogens such as bacteria and viruses.This polyclonal antibody, produced in rabbits, exhibits high reactivity with human samples and has been validated for use in various applications, including Western blotting. By specifically binding to the DEFA1 and DEFA3 proteins, researchers can accurately detect and analyze these important immune molecules in different cell types.
Given the role of defensins in immune defense, this antibody is particularly useful for investigations in immunology, infectious diseases, and inflammatory conditions. Understanding the expression and function of DEFA1 and DEFA3 can provide valuable insights into the mechanisms of immune protection and potential therapeutic strategies for combating infections and inflammatory disorders.

Background: | Defensins are a family of microbicidal and cytotoxic peptides thought to be involved in host defense. They are abundant in the granules of neutrophils and also found in the epithelia of mucosal surfaces such as those of the intestine, respiratory tract, urinary tract, and vagina. Members of the defensin family are highly similar in protein sequence and distinguished by a conserved cysteine motif. The protein encoded by this gene, defensin, α 1, is found in the microbicidal granules of neutrophils and likely plays a role in phagocyte-mediated host defense. Defensin, α Several α 3, is found in the microbicidal granules of neutrophils and likely plays a role in phagocyte-mediated host defense. Several α defensin genes are clustered on chromosome 8. |
Synonyms: | defensin, α 1/3 |
UniProt Protein Function: | defensin, alpha 1: Defensin 1 and defensin 2 have antibacterial, 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. Belongs to the alpha-defensin family. |

NCBI Summary: | Defensins are a family of antimicrobial and cytotoxic peptides thought to be involved in host defense. They are abundant in the granules of neutrophils and also found in the epithelia of mucosal surfaces such as those of the intestine, respiratory tract, urinary tract, and vagina. Members of the defensin family are highly similar in protein sequence and distinguished by a conserved cysteine motif. The protein encoded by this gene, defensin, alpha 1, is found in the microbicidal granules of neutrophils and likely plays a role in phagocyte-mediated host defense. Several alpha defensin genes are clustered on chromosome 8. This gene differs from defensin, alpha 3 by only one amino acid. This gene and the gene encoding defensin, alpha 3 are both subject to copy number variation. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
