Dermcidin is a protein with 110 amino acids that in humans is encoded by the DCD gene.[3][4] The full-length protein produces derived peptides as proteolysis-inducing factor (PIF) and other anti-microbial peptides,[4] secreted by human eccrine sweat glands onto the skin as a part of the innate host defense of the immune system. PIF is involved in muscular proteolysis.[4]
