Has antimicrobial activity against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. Defensins are thought to kill microbes by permeabilizing their plasma membrane. All DEFA5 peptides exert antimicrobial activities, but their potency is affected by peptide processing.
Kallikreins are a subgroup of serine proteases having diverse physiological functions. Growing evidence suggests that many kallikreins are implicated in carcinogenesis and some have potential as novel cancer and other disease biomarkers. This gene is one of the fifteen kallikrein subfamily members located in a cluster on chromosome 19. Its protein product is a protease present in seminal plasma. It is thought to function normally in the liquefaction of seminal coagulum, presumably by hydrolys
This gene encodes one of several forms of glutamic acid decarboxylase, identified as a major autoantigen in insulin-dependent diabetes. The enzyme encoded is responsible for catalyzing the production of gamma-aminobutyric acid from L-glutamic acid. A pathogenic role for this enzyme has been identified in the human pancreas since it has been identified as an autoantibody and an autoreactive T cell target in insulin-dependent diabetes. This gene may also play a role in the stiff man syndrome. Al
LRP5 is involved in the Wnt/beta catenin signaling pathway, probably by acting as a coreceptor together with Frizzled for Wnt. Defects in LRP5 are a cause of autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR). Autosomal dominant FEVR is also referred to as exudative vitreoretinopathy 1 (EVR1); also known as Criswick-Schepens syndrome. FEVR is a disorder of the retinal vasculature characterized by an abrupt cessation of growth of peripheral capillaries, leadi
Epstein-Barr virus-induced gene 2 is a 357 amino acid multi pass membrane protein. It is expressed in B-lymphocytes and lymphoid tissues and may function in the modulation of the immune system. Out of the nine genes that are induced by the Epstein-Barr virus, Ebi2 exhibits the highest levels of up-regulation. Ebi2 is a G-protein coupled receptor that signals through the G-protein G錳. Ebi2 contains seven hydrophobic transmembrane regions and a putative N-linked glycosylation site at its extr
Dysferlin is a muscle-specific protein that is essential for normal muscle function and development (1). Mutations in the human dysferlin gene, DYSF, which maps to chromosome 2p13.3-p13.1, are associated with limb girdle muscular dystrophy-2B (LGMD-2B) and a related, adult-onset, distal dystrophy known as Miyoshi myopathy (MM) (1,2). Dysferlin localizes to the muscle fiber membrane, but is absent in MM and LGMD-2B muscle (1,3). Dysferlin is detected in 5-6 week embryos, when limbs begin to f
