Background
Summary: This gene encodes a peptidoglycan recognition protein, which belongs to the N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine amidase 2 family. These proteins are part of the innate immune system and recognize peptidoglycan, a ubiquitous component of bacterial cell walls. This antimicrobial protein binds to murein peptidoglycans of Gram-positive bacteria. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2014],
Function
function:Binds to murein peptidoglycans (PGN) of Gram-positive bacteria. May play a role in innate immunity.,similarity:Belongs to the N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine amidase 2 family.,tissue specificity:High expression in the esophagus. Expressed also to a much lesser extent in the tonsils and thymus.,
