Gene nameBPIFB4
Protein nameBPI fold containing family B member 4
BPI fold-containing family B member 4 (Ligand-binding protein RY2G5) (Long palate, lung and nasal epithelium carcinoma-associated protein 4)
SynonymsLPLUNC4
C20orf186
DescriptionFUNCTION: May have the capacity to recognize and bind specific classes of odorants. May act as a carrier molecule, transporting odorants across the mucus layer to access receptor sites. May serve as a primary defense mechanism by recognizing and removing potentially harmful odorants or pathogenic microorganisms from the mucosa or clearing excess odorant from mucus to enable new odorant stimuli to be received (By similarity). .
