[Beta-Defensin-404] This is a bovine protein expressed in the mammary gland. It is a member of the Beta-Defensin family of antimicrobial peptides and may play a role in local host defense during udder infections (Roosen et al, 2004). The known sequence fragment suggests that this protein is the same as DEFB405.
