| ||||||||||||
Structural highlights
FunctionBPI_HUMAN 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.[1] [2] Evolutionary Conservation![]() Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.
