However, some cleavage of the precursor occurred probably in sweat to produce different active forms of dermcidin peptide. The most abundant proteolytically processed DCD peptide presents in sweat is '''DCD-1L''' (in bold).

DCD-1L is created by proteases in sweat after the first post-secretory processing step consisting to reduce the peptide to the C-terminal thereupon containing 48 residues, from the 63 to the 110 amino acid.

The derived peptides described before in the expression and maturation part can modulate innate immune response because they are effective against particular micro-organism.  
The derived peptides described before in the expression and maturation part can modulate the innate immune response because they are effective against particular micro-organisms. For exemple the peptide SSL-25 have a huge and specific action on E. coli and S. aureus <ref name = "cat"/>.
