Function

NLTP1_VIGRR Plant non-specific lipid-transfer proteins transfer phospholipids as well as galactolipids across membranes. May play a role in wax or cutin deposition in the cell walls of expanding epidermal cells and certain secretory tissues. Has antifungal activity against F.solani, F.oxysporum, P.aphanidermatum and S.rolfsii. Has antibacterial activity against the Gram-positive bacterium S.aureus but not against the Gram-negative bacterium S.typhimurium.^{[1] [2]}
