**Background of PLUNC Recombinant Protein**
PLUNC (Palate, Lung, and Nasal Epithelium Clone) is a secreted protein predominantly expressed in the respiratory tract and oral mucosa. Discovered in the early 2000s, it belongs to the BPI (bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein)/LBP (lipopolysaccharide-binding protein) family, which is associated with innate immunity. PLUNC is encoded by the *SPLUNC1* (Short PLUNC1) and *SPLUNC2* genes in humans, producing isoforms with distinct structural domains. Its name reflects its initial identification in palate, lung, and nasal epithelial tissues, where it plays roles in host defense against pathogens and modulation of inflammatory responses.
Structurally, PLUNC shares homology with BPI, featuring a characteristic N-terminal domain with antimicrobial properties and a C-terminal domain implicated in lipid binding. It is thought to function as a surfactant, regulating the viscosity of airway surface liquid and preventing microbial colonization. Studies suggest PLUNC binds to lipopolysaccharides (LPS) on Gram-negative bacteria, neutralizing their toxicity and enhancing clearance. Additionally, it interacts with host immune cells to regulate cytokine production, balancing inflammation.
Recombinant PLUNC protein is produced via genetic engineering, often using *E. coli* or mammalian expression systems, to study its biochemical and immunological roles. Its therapeutic potential is being explored in chronic respiratory diseases, such as cystic fibrosis, COPD, and asthma, where dysregulated innate immunity contributes to pathology. Challenges in development include optimizing protein stability and delivery methods.
Research continues to unravel PLUNC's precise mechanisms and clinical applications, positioning it as a promising target for novel immunomodulatory therapies.
