ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a novel human antimicrobial peptide which is a member of the defensin superfamily. In particular, isolated nucleic acid molecules are provided encoding the human antimicrobial peptide. Antimicrobial peptide are also provided as are vectors, host cells and recombinant methods for producing the same. Also provided are diagnostic methods for detecting disorders related to the immune system and therapeutic methods for such disorders.
