Description
Product Characteristics:
May play a role in innate immunity in mouth, nose and lungs. Binds bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and modulates the cellular responses to LPS.
Subcellular location: Secreted
Synonyms: LPLUNC1, C20orf114, BPI fold-containing family B member 1, Long palate, lung and nasal epithelium carcinoma-associated protein 1, Von Ebner minor salivary gland protein, VEMSGP, BPIFB1, UNQ706/PRO1357
Target Information: The protein encoded by this gene may be involved in the innate immune response to bacterial exposure in the mouth, nasal cavities, and lungs. The encoded protein is secreted and is a member of the BPI/LBP/PLUNC protein superfamily. This gene is found with other members of the superfamily in a cluster on chromosome 20.
