Rat Bactericidal Permeability-increasing Protein, BPI ELISA Kit, 96T Microplate Mixer This gene encodes a member

This gene encodes a member of the beta-1

and autosomal dominant Kallmann syndrome 2

tissue specificity:Widely expressed with high levels in heart

The encoded protein appears to be part of the connector linking these two components and may be involved in transmission of conformational changes or proton conductance

and has glycosaminoglycan attachment sites in the acidic C-terminal region

Rat Bactericidal Permeability-increasing Protein, BPI ELISA Kit, 96T Microplate Mixer This gene encodes a memberThe 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.
