NCBI Summary for BPIFA1
This gene is the human homolog of murine plunc, and like the mouse gene, is specifically expressed in the upper airways and nasopharyngeal regions. The encoded antimicrobial protein displays antibacterial activity against Gram-negative bacteria. It is thought to be involved in inflammatory responses to irritants in the upper airways and may also serve as a potential molecular marker for detection of micrometastasis in non-small-cell lung cancer. Multiple transcript variants resulting from alternative splicing in the 3' UTR have been detected, but the full-length nature of only three are known. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2014]
UniProt Comments for BPIFA1
PLUNC: May be involved in the airway inflammatory response after exposure to irritants. May be associated with tumor progression. May play a role in innate immune responses of the upper airways. Belongs to the BPI/LBP/Plunc superfamily. Plunc family.
Protein type: Secreted, signal peptide; Secreted
Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 20q11.2
Cellular Component: extracellular region; extracellular space
Molecular Function: lipid binding; protein binding
Biological Process: antibacterial humoral response; innate immune response; multicellular organismal water homeostasis; regulation of liquid surface tension
Research Articles on BPIFA1
1. PLUNC is a protein of the tear film and suggest that it plays a role in fluid balance and surface tension regulation at the ocular surface.
