Encodes a thionin which is a cysteine rich protein having antimicrobial properties. Thi2.1 is expressed in response to a variety of pathogens and induced by ethylene and jasmonic acid. Belongs to the plant thionin (PR-13) family with the following members: At1g66100, At5g36910, At1g72260, At2g15010, At1g12663, At1g12660.
