| Tissue Specificity | Expressed in collecting ducts in kidney, and in apical uroepithelium in bladder (at protein level). Expressed in various epithelial tissues including skin, respiratory tract, genito-urinary tract and, at a low level, in the gut. Expressed in liver, kidney, skeletal muscle and heart. |
| Function | Exhibits a potent RNase activity. Has broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against many pathogenic microorganisms including uropathogenic E.coli (UPEC), and remarkably potent activity (lethal dose of 90% < 30 nM) against a vancomycin resistant Enterococcus faecium. Causes loss of bacterial membrane integrity. Probably contributes to urinary tract sterility. Bactericidal activity is independent of RNase activity. |
