Innate immune responses are defense responses mediated by germline encoded components that directly recognize components of potential pathogens. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in many of the chemical changes of compounds that are not necessarily required for growth and maintenance of cells, and are often unique to a taxon. In multicellular organisms secondary metabolism is generally carried out in specific cell types, and may be useful for the organism as a whole. In unicellular organisms, secondary metabolism is often used for the production of antibiotics or for the utilization and acquisition of unusual nutrients. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of a defense response. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the immune response, the immunological reaction of an organism to an immunogenic stimulus. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the innate immune response, the organism's first line of defense against infection. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways within a cell or an organism. Any process that affects the rate, extent or location of the melanization defense response during injury or invasion. The blackening of the wounded area of the cuticle or the surface of invading pathogens, parasites or parasitoids, resulting from a proteolytic cascade leading to the de novo synthesis and deposition of melanin. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of secondary metabolism, the chemical reactions and pathways involving compounds that are not necessarily required for growth and maintenance of cells, and are often unique to a taxon. The chemical reactions and pathways involving melanins, pigments largely of animal origin. High molecular weight polymers of indole quinone, they are irregular polymeric structures and are divided into three groups: allomelanins in the plant kingdom and eumelanins and phaeomelanins in the animal kingdom. Any process that reduces the rate or extent of the melanization defense response. This regulation is critical to limit melanization to the site of injury or infection. Any process that increases the rate or extent of the melanization defense response during injury or invasion.
