Product Details anti-alpha Defensin 1 Antibody

Specificity: Several Defensins are recognized. This antibody recognises a family of Cyclic Peptides in Neutrophils. Human: Defensin 1-3 (HNP-1 to HNP-3) in Human Neutrophils. Synthetic Defensin-1 and -2 (Bachem, Bubendorf CH) stain also positively. Not tested with Defensin-4. A side reaction to elastin has been observed in humans. Other: not tested. Defensins have been described in rabbits (NP-1 to NP-5, NP3a = Corticostatin), and in mice (cryptodin).

Purification: Affinity chromatography

Immunogen: Native defensins. The epitope has not been further characterized.

Target Details for alpha Defensin 1

Target: alpha Defensin 1 (DEFA1) (Defensin, alpha 1 (DEFA1))

Alternative Name: Defensin alpha 1

Background: Defensins are a family of cyclic peptides containing 29-35 amino acids (MW < 3500) which tend to form aggregates. Four of these peptides are described in humans (HNP-1 to 4), six in rabbits (NP-1 to 5). Synonyms are MCP-1 for NP-1, MCP-2 for NP-2 and corticostatin for NP-3. Biological Functions: Various functions have been described for defensins. They are antibacterial, antifungal, chemotactic for monocytes, inhibitory for ACTH-induced corticosteroid synthesis and cytotoxic for cells. Defensins are inhibited by glucosaminoglycans (self protection for cells) and high concentrations of Ca2+ ions.Synonyms: DEF-1, DEF-3, DEF-A1, DEF-A2, DEF-A3, DEF1, DEF3, DEFA-1, DEFA-2, DEFA-3, DEFA1, DEFA2, DEFA3, Defensin alpha 1, Defensin alpha 3, HNP-1, HNP-3, HNP1, HNP3, HP-1, HP-3, HP1, HP3, MRS, Neutrophil defensin 1, Neutrophil defensin 3
