General Information of HIF (ID: HIFM0320)
HIF Name
Perforin
HIF Classification
Antimicrobial peptide (AMP)
Description Perforin LL-23 has been identified in humans. It forms the first line of host defense against pathogenic infections and are a key component of the ancient innate immune system. [1]
Microbe Species (MIC) Regulated by This HIF
         Bacteroides fragilis (CFB bacteria) MIC00158
             Description Bacteroides fragilis could use MACPF (membrane attack complex/perforin) toxinsBSAP-1 and BSAP-2, respectivelyfor intraspecies killing. [2]
         Bacteroides sp. (CFB bacteria) MIC00176
             Description The most abundant and stable members of the gut microbiota, Bacteroides spp.produce membrane attack complex/perforin (MACPF) domain pore-forming toxins. [2]
         Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron (CFB bacteria) MIC00179
             Description Membrane-attack complex/perforin (MACPF) family protein is from the human gut symbiont Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron. [3]
         Bacteroides uniformis (CFB bacteria) MIC00184
             Description Bacteroides uniformis uses MACPF (membrane attack complex/perforin) toxinsBSAP-1 and BSAP-2, respectivelyfor intraspecies killing. [2]
