Tissue Specificity | Expressed in granulocytes (at protein level). High expression in bone marrow and small intestine. Expressed in testis, spleen, stomach, and intestine. Very low expression found in heart, lung and skeletal muscle. No expression in brain, kidney or liver. |
Post Translational Modifications | Proteolytically cleaved by cathepsin CTSG. |
Function | Antimicrobial protein that is an integral component of the innate immune system. Binds to bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS). Cathelin-related antimicrobial peptide: Acts via neutrophil N-formyl peptide receptors to enhance the release of CXCL2. |
