ncbi summary :
This gene encodes a lipopolysaccharide binding protein. It is associated with human neutrophil granules and has antimicrobial activity against gram-negative organisms. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2014]
uniprot summary :
BPI: 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. Has antibacterial activity against the Gram-nagative bacterium P.aeruginosa, this activity is inhibited by LPS from P.aeruginosa. Belongs to the BPI/LBP/Plunc superfamily. BPI/LBP family. Protein type: Cell surface; Secreted, signal peptide; Secreted. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 20q11.23. Cellular Component: integral to plasma membrane; cytoplasm. Molecular Function: lipopolysaccharide binding. Biological Process: negative regulation of interleukin-6 production; negative regulation of interleukin-8 production; immune response; negative regulation of tumor necrosis factor production; negative regulation of macrophage activation; defense response to Gram-negative bacterium
