CC -!- FUNCTION: Has antibacterial activity (Probable). Upon stimulation with CC lipoteichoic acid, promotes cytokines and chemokines production and CC secretion (PubMed:26649771). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:26649771, CC ECO:0000305}. CC -!- INTERACTION: CC P59861; O43765: SGTA; NbExp=5; IntAct=EBI-12304807, EBI-347996; CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted {ECO:0000305}. CC -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Highly expressed in testis. Is moderately expressed CC in the prostate and small intestine. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12600824}. CC -!- INDUCTION: Up-regulated upon stimulation with lipoteichoic acid. CC {ECO:0000269|PubMed:26649771}. CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the beta-defensin family. {ECO:0000305}.
