CC -!- FUNCTION: Has antibacterial activity (Probable). Upon stimulation CC with lipoteichoic acid, promotes cytokines and chemokines CC production and secretion (PubMed:26649771). CC {ECO:0000269|PubMed:26649771, ECO:0000305}. CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted {ECO:0000305}. CC -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Highly expressed in testis. Is moderately CC expressed in the prostate and small intestine. CC {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}.
