Camp

This gene encodes a member of the cathelicidin family of antimicrobial peptides that play an important role in the defense against microbial infection. The encoded preproprotein undergoes proteolytic processing to generate a mature polypeptide before secretion by host cells such as neutrophils, epithelial cells and macrophages. Mice lacking the encoded protein exhibit increased susceptibility to group A streptococcus and Escherichia coli infections. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2015]

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Camp often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
