About Defa3

Summary

Predicted to enable protein homodimerization activity. Acts upstream of or within response to bacterium and response to xenobiotic stimulus. Located in extracellular space. Orthologous to several human genes including DEFA1 (defensin alpha 1); DEFA3 (defensin alpha 3); and DEFA4 (defensin alpha 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
