Gene data

DEFB127

Name: defensin beta 127
Type: protein-coding
Aliases: C20orf73, DEF-27, DEFB-27, DEFB27, bA530N10.2, hBD-27

Defensins are cysteine-rich cationic polypeptides that are important in the immunologic response to invading microorganisms. The antimicrobial protein encoded by this gene is secreted and is a member of the beta defensin protein family. Beta defensin genes are found in several clusters throughout the genome, with this gene mapping to a cluster at 20p13. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2014].
