- Antimicrobial peptides: key components of the innate immune system (2012, background): “Furthermore, not only cationic peptides, but also hydrophobic anionic α-helical peptides e.g. lysenin, dermcidin (Schittek et al., 2001; Harris et al., 2009) belong to this group.”
- The Roles of Antimicrobial Peptides in Innate Host Defense (2009, background): “Examples include dermcidin in humans [21] and maximin H5 from amphibians [22].”
- Fingermarks, more than just a ridge pattern (2014, background): “Dermcidin is an antimicrobial peptide that serves a protective role to the skin and is one of the most abundant proteins in eccrine sweat [9, 20].”
- Antimicrobial peptides: The ancient arm of the human immune system (2010, background): “Dermcidin is constitutively secreted by eccrine sweat glands and not inducible by skin injury or inflammation.(41,42) It appears to be the dominant sweat antimicrobial peptide with broad-spectrum activity not affected by low pH and increased salt concentrations (Table 1).”
