BPI fold-containing family B member 2

BPI fold-containing family B member 2 (BPIFB2) also known as bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein-like 1 (BPI-like 1) is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the BPIFB2 is_associated_with::gene.

Function
This gene encodes a member of the is_associated_with::lipid transfer/is_associated_with::lipopolysaccharide binding protein (LT/LBP) gene family. It is highly expressed in is_associated_with::hypertrophic tonsils. This gene and three other members of the LT/LBP gene family form a cluster on the long arm of is_associated_with::chromosome 20.
