Dermcidin is a Human antimicrobial peptide presents in sweat involved in the regulation of skin flora. This molecule encoded by the DCD gene plays a role in the host defense system and more precisely in the innate immune system and thus, is able to prevent microbial growth after injuries or any skin disorders.

Expression and function
The gene DCD is located on the chromosome 12 and has no homology with other known antimicrobial peptides. Indeed, there are already two classes of mammalian antimicrobial peptides known :
- Cathelicidins
- Defensins (α-defensins 1,α-defensins 2,α-defensins 3,α-defensins 4, α-defensins 5, α-defensins 6 and β-defensins 1,β-defensins 2,β-defensins 3)
