Gene: Defa5 (defensin alpha 5) Rattus norvegicus
Analyze
Symbol: Defa5
Name: defensin alpha 5
RGD ID: 727951
Description: Predicted to enable pore-forming activity and protein homodimerization activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including defense response to bacterium; defense response to symbiont; and positive regulation of interleukin-8 production. Predicted to be located in midbody and secretory granule. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Orthologous to several human genes including DEFA5 (defensin alpha 5); INTERACTS WITH 17beta-estradiol; 17beta-estradiol 3-benzoate; acetylsalicylic acid.
Type: protein-coding
RefSeq Status: VALIDATED
Previously known as: alpha-defensin 5, Paneth cell-specific; Defa; defensin NP-2; defensin NP-2 precursor; defensin, alpha 5, Paneth cell-specific; LOC286995; neutrophil antibiotic peptide NP-1; neutrophil antibiotic peptide NP-2; neutrophil defensin 1; neutrophil defensin 2; ratNP-1; ratNP-2
