Summary
Predicted to enable pore-forming activity and protein homodimerization activity. Predicted to be involved in cellular response to lipopolysaccharide; defense response to other organism; and disruption of plasma membrane integrity in another organism. Predicted to be located in midbody and secretory granule. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Orthologous to several human genes including DEFA1 (defensin alpha 1); DEFA1B (defensin alpha 1B); and DEFA5 (defensin alpha 5). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]
