Gene data

DEFB129

Name: defensin beta 129
Type: protein-coding
Aliases: C20orf87, DEFB-29, DEFB29, bA530N10.3, hBD-29

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].
