Some skin disorders such as psoriasis are compensate by an overexpression and overproduction of the antimicrobial peptides. The results are that there are less infections on the injured skin.<ref> Harder, J., Bartels, J., Christophers, E., Schröder, J.-M., 1997. A peptide antibiotic from human skin. Nature 387, 861–861. https://doi.org/10.1038/43088 </ref> | |||
Atopic dermatitis is also linked to DCD peptides. A study proved that patients suffering from this skin disorder have reduced amount of these peptides which could provoke skin infections in contrast to psoriasis <ref name="de"/>. | |||

In gastric cancer cell lines which are characterized by an overexpression of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_non-coding_RNA_ lncRNA] of STCAT3, dermcidin represents a binding protein to this RNA. In the cancer tissue the protein can be found more abundant in the cell nucleus and the cytoplasm than in non-cancer tissue. Patients who survived gastric cancer thanks to surgery, show however a decreased level of dermcidin. Further analysis found that the level of dermcidin and STCAT3 expression therefore could be used as clinical predictors for gastric cancer development.<ref> Zhang, J., Ding, W., Kuai, X., Ji, Y., Zhu, Z., Mao, Z., Wang, Z., 2018.
