  The human β-defensin 2 (hBD2), as a Kv1.3 channel inhibitor with the unique molecular mechanism and novel immune modulatory function, suggests that human β-defensins are a kind of novel channel ligands.Here, function and mechanism of the human β-defensin 1 (hBD 1) binding to potassium channels was investigated.
