TARGTYPE

Clinical trial target

SYNONYMS

CAP 57; BPI

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-nagative bacterium P.aeruginosa, this activity is inhibited by LPS from P.aeruginosa. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1937776, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2722846}.
