Abstract Background beta-defensins are small cationic peptides that exhibit broad spectrum antimicrobial properties. The majority of beta-defensins identified in humans are predominantly expressed in...

The epididymis protein 2 (EP2) gene, the fusion of two ancestral β-defensin genes, is highly expressed in the epididymis and subject to species-specific regulation at the levels of promoter...

Abstract Background The HE2 gene encodes a group of isoforms with similarities to the antimicrobial beta-defensins. We demonstrated earlier that the antimicrobial activity of HE2 proteins and...
LCN6, a novel human epididymal lipocalin (2003)
Hamil, Katherine G, Liu, Qiang, Sivashanmugam, P, Anbalagan, M, Yenugu, Suresh, Soundararajan, Rama, ...
Abstract Background The lipocalin (LCN) family of structurally conserved hydrophobic ligand binding proteins is represented in all major taxonomic groups from prokaryotes to primates. The importance...
