peptidoglycan recognition protein 1,Peptidoglycan recognition protein short,PGLYRP,PGRP,PGRPS,PGRP-S,TAG7,TNF superfamily, member 3 (LTB)-like (peptidoglycan recognition protein),TNFSF3L.
Pattern receptor that binds to murein peptidoglycans (PGN) of Gram-positive bacteria. Has bactericidal activity towards Gram-positive bacteria. May kill Gram-positive bacteria by interfering with peptidoglycan biosynthesis. Binds also to Gram-negative bacteria, and has bacteriostatic activity towards Gram-negative bacteria. Plays a role in innate immunity.
