Functions
peptidase activity / RNA binding
Processes
antimicrobial humoral response / defense response to bacterium / defense response to fungus / killing of cells of other organism
Components
extracellular exosome / extracellular matrix / extracellular region / extracellular space
General Function
DCD-1 displays antimicrobial activity thereby limiting skin infection by potential pathogens in the first few hours after bacterial colonization. Highly effective against E.coli, E.faecalis, S.aureus and C.albicans. Optimal pH and salt concentration resemble the conditions in sweat. Also exhibits proteolytic activity.
