The α-defensins are distinguished from the β-defensins by the pairing of their three disulfide bonds. To date, four human β-defensins have been identified; BD-1, BD-2, BD-3 and BD-4. β-defensins are expressed on some leukocytes and at epithelial surfaces. In addition to their direct antimicrobial activities, they are chemoattractant towards immature dendritic cells and memory T cells. The β-defensin proteins are expressed as the C-terminal portion of precursors and are released by proteolytic cleavage of a signal sequence and, in the case of BD-1 (36 a.a.), a propeptide region. β-defensins contain a six-cysteine motif that forms three intra-molecular disulfide bonds. β-Defensins are 3-5 kDa peptides ranging in size from 33-47 amino acid residues.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BioWorld","offers":[{"title":"5µg","offer_id":42882223669427,"sku":"PR1008-5","price":260.23,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20µg","offer_id":42882223702195,"sku":"PR1008-20","price":490.83,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0305\/9482\/6376\/products\/thumbnail_d1447bac803ec9be_11-14-09-19-51_7171e4df-c5fc-4a0b-a554-8ae4d792a7c3.jpg?v=1702049575","url":"https:\/\/afsbio.com\/products\/recombinant-human-beta-defensin-2-rhubd-2-pr1008","provider":"AFSBio Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
