peptidoglycan recognition protein 2
Alias
HMFT0141 | PGLYRPL | PGRP-L | PGRPL | TAGL-like | tagL | tagL-alpha | tagl-beta
This gene encodes a peptidoglycan recognition protein, which belongs to the N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine amidase 2 family. This protein hydrolyzes the link between N-acetylmuramoyl residues and L-amino acid residues in bacterial cell wall glycopeptides, and thus may play a scavenger role by digesting biologically active peptidoglycan into biologically inactive fragments.
