Human BPI (Bactericidal/Permeability Increasing Protein) CLIA Kit

Bactericidal Permeability-Increasing Protein; Bpi; Cap 57

Uniprot ID: HIS1_HUMAN ; Reactome: R-HSA-166016 ; Gene ID: 671

Tissue Specificity: Restricted to cells of the myeloid series.

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. Has antibacterial activity against the Gram-negative bacterium P.aeruginosa, this activity is inhibited by LPS from P.aeruginosa.
