Protein Name: Neutrophil defensin 3

UniprotKB/SwissProt ID: P59666 (P59666)

Gene Name: DEFA3

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human)

Function: Effector molecule of the innate immune system that acts via antibiotic-like properties against a broad array of infectious agents including bacteria, fungi, and viruses (PubMed:15616305, PubMed:15772169, PubMed:17142766). Possesses the ability to neutralize bacterial toxins such as B.anthracis lethal factor, Clostridium difficile cytotoxin B as well as leukocidin produced by Staphylococcus aureus (PubMed:15772169, PubMed:18435932, PubMed:25963798). Also blocks herpes simplex virus infection by interacting with envelope glycoprotein B and thus preventing its binding to heparan sulfate, the receptor for attachment (PubMed:17142766)
