| Tissue Specificity | Restricted to cells of the myeloid series. |
| Function | 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-negative bacterium P.aeruginosa, this activity is inhibited by LPS from P.aeruginosa. |
