Merge from cryptdin

This article refers to murine bowel alpha-defensins, one of the earliest examples of proteins of the class. Most of the information seem to apply to bowel or just all mamallian alpha-defensins in general, so merging is probably a good idea. --Artoria 2e5 🌉 17:06, 20 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, the cryptdin information would be better summarised within the alpha defensin article. Most of it applies to alpha defensins in general. It could also be mentioned in a history section given the mouse and rabbit cryptidin historical relevance ([1] [2] [3]). T.Shafee(Evo&Evo)^talk 01:40, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Merger complete. Klbrain (talk) 14:45, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Note from 80.230.84.59

80.230.84.59 would like to point out that the article "Needs referencing to role of alpha defensin in coagulopathy in covid19". (Moving here from the top of the article itself.) --Yair rand (talk) 19:30, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
