                                Introduction
                                Beta
Defensin 116, also known as DEFB116 is a member of the beta-defensin family.DEFB116
has antibacterial activity. The innate immune system includes antimicrobial peptides
that protect multicellular organisms from a diverse spectrum of microorganisms.
In addition, Beta-Defensins contain one important family of mammalian
antimicrobial peptides.
                                Description
                                DEFB116 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 102 amino acids (24-102 a.a) and having a molecular mass of 11.5kDa.
DEFB116 is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
