Extra Details:
The underlying genes responsible for defensin production are highly polymorphic. Some aspects are conserved, however; the hallmarks of a beta-defensin are its small size, high density of cationic charge and six-cysteine-residue motif. Generally they are encoded by two-exon genes, where the first exon encodes for a hydrophobic leader sequence and the second for a peptide containing the cysteine motif. There are three main (known) forms of mammalian defensins; alpha-defensins, beta-defensins, and theta-defensins. It is theorised that some of the pathology of cystic fibrosis arises from the inhibition of beta-defensin activity on the epithelial surfaces of the lungs and trachea due to higher salt content. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months after receipt. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
