• Background: β-Defensins (also designated BD, and HBD in human) are small cationic peptides with broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. β-defensins are involved in the resistance of epithelial surfaces, such as airway surface fluid, to microbial colonization. Produced in mucosal epithelia and neutrophils of several species, β-defensins are developmentally regulated. Human β-defensin 1, isolated from the kidney, has a molecular mass of 3.9 kDa. Human β-defensin 1 shares homology with other β-defensins from human blood filtrate and is also present in nanomolar concentrations in human plasma. In addition to the antimicrobial activity of human airway epithelia, β-defensin 1 may play a role in the mucosal defenses of the lung.
