Molecular Evolutionary Analysis of β-Defensin Peptides in Vertebrates

Show other versions (1)

Vertebrate β-defensins comprise an important family of antimicrobial peptides that protect organisms from a diverse spectrum of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoan parasites. Previous studies have shown a marked variation in the number of β-defensins among species, but the underlying reason is u...
