Human α-Defensin 6: a Small Peptide that Self-Assembles and Protects the Host by Entangling Microbes

Human α-defensin 6 (HD6) is a 32-residue cysteine-rich peptide that contributes to innate immunity by protecting the host at mucosal sites. This peptide is produced in small intestinal Paneth cells as an 81-residue precursor peptide that is stored in granules, and is released into the lumen. One unu...
