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.

Biological Context

Subcellular Location: Secreted; Membrane
Tissue Specificity: 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)

Protein Biology

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)

Subcellular Location

Secreted; Membrane

Tissue Specificity

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)

Subunit

Monomer (PubMed:23938203). Homodimer (PubMed:23938203)

Gene: DEFB1  |  Organism: Homo sapiens  |  Synonyms: Defensin, beta 1
