ANTIBODY IHC RELIABILITY
Data reliability description
RNA-based expert annotation gave inconclusive results. No RNA expression data detected and pending external verification. Secreted protein, tissue location of RNA and protein might differ and correlation is complex.
Most colorectal cancers along with several hepatocellular carcinomas, squamous cell carcinomas, ovarian, testicular, gastric and prostate cancers displayed weak to moderate cytoplasmic and nuclear positivity. Remaining malignant cells were mainly negative.

Entrez gene summary
Defensins form a family of antimicrobial and cytotoxic peptides made by neutrophils. Defensins are short, processed peptide molecules that are classified by structure into three groups: alpha-defensins, beta-defensins and theta-defensins. All beta-defensin genes are densely clustered in four to five syntenic chromosomal regions. A pseudogene of this gene has been found on chromosome 8. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2014]
