Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2004
Defensins are endogenous, cysteine-rich antimicrobial peptides that contribute to host defence against bacterial, fungal and viral infections. There are three subfamilies of defensins in primates: alpha-defensins are most common in neutrophils and Paneth cells of the small intestine; beta-defensins protect the skin and the mucous membranes of the ...

Journal of Molecular Medicine, 2005
Antimicrobial peptides are small, cationic, amphiphilic peptides of 12-50 amino acids with microbicidal activity against both bacteria and fungi. The eukaryotic antimicrobial peptides may be divided into four distinct groups according to their structural features: cysteine-free alpha-helices, extended cysteine-free alpha-helices with a predominance of ...

Antimicrobial Potentials and Structural Disorder of Human and Animal Defensins
Cytokine and Growth Factor Reviews, 2016 Defensins are moonlighting peptides which are broadly distributed throughout all the living kingdoms. They play a multitude of important roles in human health and disease, possessing several immunoregulatory functions and manifesting broad antimicrobial ...

Defensins are widely distributed and abundant 3-4 kDa antimicrobial peptides that are variable cationic and contain six disulfide-paired cysteines. Three structurally distinct peptide families have been identified: 'classical' defensins, beta-defensins and insect defensins.

Planta, 2002
Plant defensins are small, basic peptides that have a characteristic three-dimensional folding pattern that is stabilized by eight disulfide-linked cysteines. They are termed plant defensins because they are structurally related to defensins found in other types of organism, including humans.

Defensins in Viral Infections [PDF]
Journal of Innate Immunity, 2009 Defensins are antimicrobial peptides important to innate host defense. In addition to their direct antimicrobial effect, defensins modulate immune responses. Increasing evidence indicates that defensins exhibit complex functions by positively or negatively modulating infections of both enveloped and non-enveloped viruses.

Defensinpred: Defensin and Defensin Types Prediction Server
Protein & Peptide Letters, 2012Defensins are considered to play an important role in the innate immune system of virtually all life forms, from insects and plants to amphibians and mammals. They are classified into alpha, beta and theta-defensins. Fast and accurate computational prediction of defensin and defensin types will help in annotating unidentified defensin novel peptides ...

Defensins of Vertebrate Animals
Current Opinion in Immunology, 2002During the past year, novel beta-defensins of mice and men have been identified, together with a novel defensin subfamily (the circular or 'theta' minidefensins) in primates. Insight into the evolution of defensins has been obtained from structural studies, and several mechanisms related to microbial resistance to defensins have been delineated.
