... Defensins are cationic proteins 29-35 aa in length produced by neutrophils, epithelial cells of kidney and pancreas, and by paneth cells in the gut. They kill S. aureus, S. pneumoniae, E. coli, P. aeruginosa, and H. influenzae. They disrupt microbial membrane, block DNA, RNA, protein synthesis. Cath ...
