'''Defensins''' (DEF) are small cationic defense proteins active against bacteria, fungi and viruses.  DEF are found in cells of the immune system.  DEF binds to microbial cell membrane forming pores and thus allowing outflow of essential nutrients thus killing them.<ref>PMID:8528769</ref>  For details on plant DEF see [[Plant defensin]].

*'''alpha defensins''' are antibiotic peptides produced in the Paneth cells of the small intestines defending against pathogens<ref>PMID:24246978</ref>.
*'''theta defensins''' are cyclic antibiotic peptides <ref>PMID:15544531</ref>.
