Synonyms | BD1, HBD1 |
Function | Has bactericidal activity. May act as a ligand for C-C chemokine receptor CCR6. Positively regulates the sperm motility and bactericidal activity in a CCR6-dependent manner. Binds to CCR6 and triggers Ca2+ mobilization in the sperm which is important for its motility (PubMed:25122636). |
Cellular Location | Secreted. Membrane. Note=Associates with tumor cell membrane-derived microvesicles (PubMed:23938203) |
Tissue Location | Blood plasma. Sperm. Highly expressed in the lower head and midpiece of sperm. Significantly reduced levels found in the sperms of asthenozoospermia and leukocytospermia patients (at protein level). |

Background
Defensins form a family of microbicidal and cytotoxicpeptides made by neutrophils. Members of the defensin family arehighly similar in protein sequence. This gene encodes defensin,beta 1, an antimicrobial peptide implicated in the resistance ofepithelial surfaces to microbial colonization. This gene maps inclose proximity to defensin family member, defensin, alpha 1 andhas been implicated in the pathogenesis of cystic fibrosis.
