AOAH PrEST Antigen

Protein function: Removes the secondary (acyloxyacyl-linked) fatty acyl chains from the lipid A region of bacterial lipopolysaccharides (PubMed:1883828, PubMed:8089145, PubMed:29343645). By breaking down LPS, terminates the host response to bacterial infection and prevents prolonged and damaging inflammatory responses. In peritoneal macrophages, seems to be important for recovery from a state of immune tolerance following infection by Gram-negative bacteria. [The UniProt Consortium] Buffer: PBS and 1M Urea, pH 7.4.
