Human Beta Defensin 3, hBD-3, hBD3, DEFB103, Beta-defensin 103, BD-3
HIF Classification
Antimicrobial peptide (AMP)
Molecular Function
Antibiotic; Antimicrobial; Defensin
Description Human beta defensin 3 has been identified in humans. It forms the first line of host defense against pathogenic infections and are a key component of the ancient innate immune system. [1]
Pfam Beta defensin (PF00711 )
Pathway NOD-like receptor signaling pathway (hsa04621 )
Staphylococcus aureus infection (hsa05150 )
