Function | Antimicrobial protein that is an integral component of the innate immune system (PubMed:14978112, PubMed:16637646, PubMed:18818205, PubMed:22879591, PubMed:9736536). Binds to bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS) (PubMed:16637646, PubMed:18818205). Acts via neutrophil N-formyl peptide receptors to enhance the release of CXCL2 (PubMed:22879591). Postsecretory processing generates multiple cathelicidin antimicrobial peptides with various lengths which act as a topical antimicrobial defense in sweat on skin (PubMed:14978112). The unprocessed precursor form, cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide, inhibits the growth of Gram-negative E.coli and E.aerogenes with efficiencies comparable to that of the mature peptide LL-37 (in vitro) (PubMed:9736536). |
Cellular Location | Secreted. Vesicle. Note=Stored as pro-peptide in granules and phagolysosomes of neutrophils (PubMed:7529412, PubMed:9736536). Secreted in sweat onto skin (PubMed:14978112). |
Tissue Location | Expressed in neutrophilic granulocytes (at protein level) (PubMed:7529412, PubMed:7615076, PubMed:7890387, PubMed:8681941, PubMed:8946956, PubMed:9736536). Expressed in bone marrow (PubMed:7890387). [Antibacterial peptide FALL-39]: Expressed in bone marrow and testis. |
