InnateDB Gene

IDBG-642592 (BPI)

Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

Function

The cytotoxic action of BPI is limited to many species of Gram-negative bacteria; this specificity may be explained by a strong affinity of the very basic N-terminal half for the negatively charged lipopolysaccharides that are unique to the Gram-negative bacterial outer envelope.

Subcellular Localization

Secreted {ECO:0000250}. Cytoplasmic granule membrane {ECO:0000250}. Note=Membrane-associated in polymorphonuclear Leukocytes (PMN) granules. {ECO:0000250}.

Disease Associations

Tissue Specificity

Restricted to cells of the myeloid series.
