General Description

Histatin 3 is a small, histidine-rich protein that is found in human saliva. It plays a crucial role in the maintenance of oral health by protecting the mouth against infection and aiding in the repair of oral tissues. Histatin 3 has been found to have strong antifungal properties, particularly against the yeast Candida albicans, which is commonly associated with oral thrush and other oral infections. Additionally, it has been shown to promote the growth and regeneration of oral epithelial cells, further contributing to its role in maintaining oral health. Studies have also suggested that histatin 3 may have potential therapeutic applications in the treatment of various oral diseases and conditions, making it a promising area of research for the future development of oral health treatments.
