GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
PGLYRP3 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
PGLYRPIalpha, PGRP-Ialpha, PGRPIA
Description
Peptidoglycan recognition protein 3 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene 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]
