Anti-BPIFB1 Antibody Picoband®

BPI fold-containing family B member 1 (BPIFB1) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the BPIFB1 gene. The protein encoded by this gene may be involved in the innate immune response to bacterial exposure in the mouth, nasal cavities, and lungs. The encoded protein is secreted and is a member of the BPI/LBP/PLUNC protein superfamily. This gene is found with other members of the superfamily in a cluster on chromosome 20.

E.coli-derived human BPIFB1 recombinant protein (Position: T26-K477) . Human BPIFB1 shares 58.9% and 57.4% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat BPIFB1, respectively.
