Dermcidin gene (''DCD gene'') is located on the '''chromosome 12''' and constitutively expressed as '''precursor''' of 110 amino acids only in mucous cells of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eccrine_sweat_gland_ eccrine sweat glands] within the dermis of the skin. The molecular weight of the DCD full-length sequence is 9.3 kDa including the signal peptide (in italic). The peptide is then secreted by granules in sweat and transported to the epidermal surface.
