DEFB1 (Defensin, beta 1)

DEFB1,Beta-defensin 1, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DEFB1 gene. DEFB1 belongs to the defensin family. Defensins form a family of microbicidal and cytotoxic peptides made by neutrophils. The DEFB1 gene spans more than 7 kb and includes a large 6,962-bp intron.By 2-color fluorescence in situ hybridization on both metaphase chromosomes and released chromatin fiber, the DEFB1gene is mapped to 8p23.2-p23.1, within 100 to 150 kb of the gene for human neutrophil defensin-alpha-1. DEFB1may augment neonatal host defenses through antimicrobial effects or prime the adaptive immune system at mucosal surfaces.\n\nUniProt Number:\nP60022\n\nGene ID:\nDEFB1\n\nApplications:\nSuitable for use in Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin).\n\nRecommended Dilution:\nOptimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.\n\nStorage and Handling:\nStore at -20?C for one year. After reconstitution, store at 4?C for one month. Can also be aliquoted and stored frozen at -20?C for long term.\nAvoid repeated freezing and thawing. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
