DEFbeta2/DEFB2 protein(GST tag), recombinant human

Activity: Testing in progress Protein Construction: A DNA sequence encoding theHuman DEFbeta2/DEFB2 protein (O15263) (Gly24-Pro64) was expressed with a N-GST. Sequence: Gly24-Pro64. Fusion tag: N-GST Endotoxin: Please contact us for more information. Apparent Molecular Mass: 33 kDa. Protein function: Exhibits antimicrobial activity against Gram-negative bacteria and Gram-positive bacteria. May act as a ligand for C-C chemokine receptor CCR6. Can bind to both human and mouse CCR6 and induce chemotactic activity of CCR6-expressing cells. Protein function: Exhibits antimicrobial activity against Gram-negative bacteria and Gram-positive bacteria, with highest activity against Gram-negative bacteria (PubMed:9202117, PubMed:10837369). Antimicrobial activity against P.aruginosa seems to be salt-sensitive and is reduced with high salt concentrations greater than 25 mM (PubMed:10837369). Also exhibits antimicrobial activity against the yeast C.albicans (PubMed:9202117, PubMed:10837369, PubMed:30050988). Permeabilizes C.albicans cell membranes via targeting plasma membrane lipid phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2), thereby leading to cell fragmentation and cell death (PubMed:30050988). Acts as a ligand for C- C chemokine receptor CCR6 (PubMed:10521347, PubMed:20068036). Binds to CCR6 and induces chemotactic activity of CCR6-expressing cells, such as immature dendritic cells and memory T cells (PubMed:10521347, PubMed:20068036). [The UniProt Consortium]
