β-defensins and the epididymis: contrasting influences of prenatal, postnatal, and adult scenarios
β-defensins are components of host defense, with antimicrobial and pleiotropic immuno-modulatory properties. Research over the last 15 years has demonstrated abundant expression of a variety of β-defensins in the postnatal epididymis of different species. A gradient of region- and cell-specific expr...
