Paneth cell α-defensins HD-5 and HD-6 display differential degradation into active antimicrobial fragments
Antimicrobial peptides, in particular α-defensins expressed by Paneth cells, control microbiota composition and play a key role in intestinal barrier function and homeostasis. Dynamic conditions in the local microenvironment, such as pH and redox potential, significantly affect the antimicrobial spe...
