BD-3 Protein, Human
Based on 1 Customer Validation
BD-3 Protein, Human is an antibacterial peptide that exhibits antibacterial activities towards Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria as well as an ability to act as a chemo-attractant.
- Species: Human
- Source: E. coli
-
Storage:Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.
Biological Activity
BD-3 Protein, Human is an antibacterial peptide that exhibits antibacterial activities towards Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria as well as an ability to act as a chemo-attractant.
Human β-defensin-3 (HβD-3) is the most recently discovered member of the host defense peptide family. HβD-3 has been shown to exhibit antibacterial activities towards Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria as well as an ability to act as a chemo-attractant. HβD-3 is of special interest for structural and functional studies and also for possible pharmaceutical applications. It is also one among the identified human defensins that has the ability to undergo oligomerization[1].
The ED50 is <30 μg/mL as measured by anti-microbial activity against E.coli, corresponding to a specific activity of >33.3 units/mg.

Product Properties
Lyophilized powder
Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of 20 mM PBS, pH 7.4, 130 mM NaCl.
<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.
It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH2O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).
Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.
Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.
