Distant cousins: genomic and sequence diversity within the BPI fold-containing (BPIF)/PLUNC protein family.

Biochemical Society transactions - 1 Aug 2011

Bingle Colin D, Bingle Lynne, Craven C Jeremy

Abstract excerpt

PLUNC (palate, lung and nasal epithelium clone) proteins make up the largest branch of the BPI (bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein)/LBP (lipopolysaccharide-binding protein) family of lipid-transfer proteins. PLUNCs make up one of the most rapidly evolving mammalian protein families and exhibit low levels of sequence similarity coupled with multiple examples of species-specific gene acquisition and gene...
