Beta-defensin 105 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DEFB105A gene.Defensins form a family of microbicidal and cytotoxic peptides made by neutrophils. Defensins are short processed peptide molecules that are classified by structure into three groups: alpha-defensins beta-defensins and theta-defensins. All beta-defensin genes are densely clustered in four to five syntenic chromosomal regions. Chromosome 8p23 contains at least two copies of the duplicated beta-defensin cluster.
