Table1. BPIFA and BPIFB families.
For each family, the new systematic name is given, along with previous names that have had common usage.
| Protein family | Previous names | Species specific notes |
|---|---|---|
| BPIFA | ||
| BPIFA1 | SPLUNC1, PLUNC*, LUNX, SPURT | |
| BPIFA2 | SPLUNC2, PSP (human), C20orf70* | |
| BPIFA2A | BSP30A | Cow only |
| BPIFA2B | BSP30B | Cow only |
| BPIFA2C | BSP30C | Cow only |
| BPIFA2D | BSP30D | Cow only |
| BPIFA2E | SPLUNC2, PSP (mouse and rat) | Rodent only |
| BPIFA2F | SMGB (rat), SPLUNC4 (mouse) | Rat; pseudogene in mouse (mouse gene symbol = Bpifa2f-ps) |
| BPIFA3 | SPLUNC3, C20orf71* | |
| BPIFA4 | RP11-49G10.8, BASE, latherin | Pseudogene in human (human gene symbol = BPIFA4P); authentic gene in chimpanzee. Absent from rodents. Latherin sequence is rather divergent, which may reflect a change of function in horse. |
| BPIFA5 | SPLUNC5 | Rodent only |
| BPIFA6 | SPLUNC6, XM | Rodent only. May be highly divergent form of BPIFA2 from genomic position |
| BPIFB | ||
| BPIFB1 | LPLUNC1, C20orf114*, VEMSGP | |
| BPIFB2 | LPLUNC2, BPIL1*, C20orf184 | |
| BPIFB3 | LPLUNC3, RYA3(rat), C20orf185* | |
| BPIFB4 | LPLUNC4, RY2G5(rat), C20orf186* | |
| BPIFB5 | LPLUNC5 | Pseudogene in primates (human gene symbol = BPIFB5P) |
| BPIFB6 | LPLUNC6, BPIL3* | |
| BPIFB7 | TENP | Avian |
| BPIFB8 | OVO36 | Avian |
| BPIFB9 | vomeromodulin | Highly divergent; pseudogene in primates (human gene symbol = BPIFB9P) |
HGNC names (that will be replaced by this new nomenclature) are marked with an asterisk.
