'''Dermcidin''' is a '''human antimicrobial, anionic ion membrane channel''' ([https://www.rcsb.org/structure/2YMK_ 2YMK]) discovered in 2001 based on 6 dermcidin antimicrobial peptides of 110 amino acids present in sweat. Dermcidin expands with other antimicrobial peptides the natural role of the skin to form a barrier to non-human invaders. These peptides, encoded by the ''DCD | '''Dermcidin''' is a '''human antimicrobial, anionic ion membrane channel''' ([https://www.rcsb.org/structure/2YMK_ 2YMK]) discovered in 2001 based on 6 dermcidin antimicrobial peptides of 110 amino acids present in sweat. Dermcidin expands with other antimicrobial peptides the natural role of the skin to form a barrier to non-human invaders. These peptides, encoded by the ''DCD'' gene, play a role in the host defense system as a trimeric channel and thus, are able to prevent infection after injuries or any skin disorders. Scientists are focused on this molecule due to his charge particularity and since antibiotic resistances have been observed. | ||
