Background
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.,subunit:Monomer and dimer.,tissue specificity:Highly expressed in the esophagus, expressed also in tonsils and thymus and to a much lesser extent in the stomach, descending colon, rectum and brain.,
Protein name
Peptidoglycan recognition protein 3 (Peptidoglycan recognition protein I-alpha) (PGLYRPIalpha) (PGRP-I-alpha) (Peptidoglycan recognition protein intermediate alpha)

Tissue expression
Detected in skin epidermis, eccrine sweat glands and ducts, ciliary body epithelial cells of the eye, in small intestine, colon, stomach and in mature epithelial cells of the tongue (at protein level). Highly expressed in skin and esophagus, expressed also in tonsils and thymus and to a much lesser extent in the stomach, descending colon, rectum and brain.
