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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

The term defensin relates to a set of host defense peptides (HDPs)in vertebrates, invertebrates, plants, and molds that display structural similarities based on a cystine stabilized antiparallel bet-sheetcore, with an alpha-helical stretch also present in some membrers, Defensins of different origins exhibit structural and functional similarities, with

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.
