abbr. HBP (a term with multiple meanings). This biochemically uncharacterized protein has been obtained from an acid-soluble extract of human bladder mucosal surface (Wu et al, 1994). The protein shows potent antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli ML-35P and may be involved in antibacterial defense mechanisms. For a possibly similar protein from rabbits see: Rab BP-1, Rab BP-2.
