Defensin 5 (human)/Defensin HD 5, HD 5, Human α-defensin 5, α-Defensin 5 (human)

Defensin 5 (human)/Defensin HD 5, HD 5, Human α-defensin 5, α-Defensin 5 (human) is a 65-amino-acid A peptide related to the cathelicidin/LL-37 family of host defense peptides (antimicrobial peptides, AMPs). These peptides exhibit broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against bacteria, fungi, and viruses, and modulate innate immune responses including chemotaxis, cytokine production, and wound healing. Used in infectious disease and immunology research for studying antimicrobial mechanisms and immune modulation.
