| Primary Identifier | IPR032942 | Type | Family |
| Short Name | BPI/LBP/Plunc |
| description | The BPI (bactericidal permeability-increasing proteins)/LBP (lipopolysaccharide-binding proteins)/PLUNC (palate, lung and nasal epithelium clone) family consists of proteins involved in host defence against bacteria, many acting in early recognition of bacteria in the upper respiratory tract [, , ]. They share homology with cholesterol ester transfer protein (CETP) and phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP), both of which are involved in lipid transport in blood plasma []. This entry also matches UPF0522 proteins from Dictyostelium (slime mold), whose function is unknown. |
