... lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP) single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) LBP appears to be one of the better studied members of the BPI–LBP–CETP–PLTP–PLUNC family, which may be caused by the fact that it was discovered almost 25 years ago as one of the first members of this family. All the functions...

... (in rats). These rapidly evolving proteins are structurally related to lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP) and bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein (BPI). In the present analysis we comment on the comparative aspects of this protein family, which may function to protect epithelial surfaces...
