Antimicrobial RNases in Cutaneous Defense
1 Jan 2012
Abstract excerpt
Antimicrobial proteins (AMP) are small endogenous proteins which are capable of rapidly inactivating microorganisms at low micro- and nanomolar concentrations. Their significance in host defense is reflected by their wide distribution in nature. Several AMP have been isolated from human skin, and there is increasing evidence that AMP may play an important role in cutaneous defense. One important human AMP class...
