20 Jul 2011
Abstract excerpt
PLUNC (palate, lung and nasal epithelium clone)-associated gene originally referred to one gene, but now has been extended to represent a gene family that consists of a number of genes with peptide sequence homologies and predicted structural similarities. PLUNC-like proteins display sequence homology with BPI (bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein), a 456-residue cationic protein produced by precursors of...
