Eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) is a
small, basal protein begin in the cast of the eosinophil's ample specific atom
that has cytotoxic, helminthotoxic, and ribonuclease activity, and is a
affiliate of the ribonuclease multigene family. Human eosinophil granules
accommodate several basal proteins including ECP, eosinophil-derived neurotoxin
(EDN) and above basal protein (MBP). ECP and MBP are almighty helminthotoxins
while EDN is beneath so. Both ECP and EDN acquire neurotoxic and ribonuclease
activities.
