Summary
Predicted to be involved in cellular response to lipopolysaccharide; defense response to other organism; and disruption of plasma membrane integrity in another organism. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Orthologous to several human genes including DEFA1 (defensin alpha 1); DEFA1B (defensin alpha 1B); and DEFA3 (defensin alpha 3).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
