Dermcidin (DCD), a naturally occurring antimicrobial peptide, is primarily secreted by human eccrine sweat glands as a component of the innate immune system. Discovered in the early 2000s, this 110-amino-acid precursor protein is proteolytically processed into smaller bioactive peptides, notably DCD-1L (48 amino acids) and its truncated form DCD-1 (47 amino acids). These cationic, amphipathic peptides exhibit broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against pathogens like *Staphylococcus aureus*, *Escherichia coli*, and *Candida albicans*, functioning through membrane disruption and ion channel modulation.
Recombinant DCD proteins are engineered using bacterial (e.g., *E. coli*) or eukaryotic expression systems to overcome limitations of natural extraction, such as low yield and contamination risks. Advanced purification techniques, including affinity chromatography and HPLC, ensure high-purity products for research and therapeutic applications. Notably, DCD demonstrates pH-dependent activity, showing optimal efficacy in sweat’s acidic environment (pH 4.5–6.5), which enhances its stability and target specificity.
Beyond antimicrobial functions, DCD exhibits immunomodulatory properties and potential anticancer effects by inducing apoptosis in tumor cells. Its role in skin homeostasis and wound healing has spurred interest in dermatological and cosmetic applications. However, challenges persist in maintaining structural stability and bioavailability in physiological conditions. Current studies focus on optimizing recombinant production, structural modifications, and delivery systems to harness DCD’s therapeutic potential against antibiotic-resistant infections and inflammatory disorders.
