The gene DCD is located on the chromosome 12 and has no homology with other known antimicrobial peptides. Indeed, there are already two classes of mammalian antimicrobial peptides known :
*Cathelicidins
*Defensins ([[α-defensins 1]],[[α-defensins 2]],[[α-defensins 3]],[[α-defensins 4]], [[α-defensins 5]], [[α-defensins 6]] and [[ β-defensins 1]],[[β-defensins 2]],[[β-defensins 3]])
