Freshly collected human parotid saliva contains 8 cationic proteins, as demonstrated by capillary electrophoresis. These proteins include
lysozyme
, histatin 6 and the 6 salivary histidine-rich polypeptides (HRPs 1-6). Neither histatin 2 nor histatin 4 are present in native undegraded parotid saliva but appear only after autoproteolytic degradation of the saliva. Histatin 2 appears to arise through slow degradation of HRP-1, and histatin 4 is mainly produced as a rapid breakdown product of
HRP-3
.
