| Description: | DCD is a secreted protein that is subsequently processed into mature peptides of distinct biological activities. The C-terminal peptide is constitutively expressed in sweat and has antibacterial and antifungal activities. The N-terminal peptide, also known as diffusible survival evasion peptide, promotes neural cell survival under conditions of severe oxidative stress. A glycosylated form of the N-terminal peptide may be associated with cachexia (muscle wasting) in cancer patients. |
| Further Information: | This DCD antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 74-103 amino acids from the C-terminal region of human DCD. |
