Definitions

Defensins are cysteine-rich cationic proteins. Most defensins function by binding to microbial cell membrane, and once embedded, forming pore-like membrane defects allowing efflux of essential ions and nutrients. Cells of the immune system contain these peptides to assist in killing phagocytized parasites.
