Function
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. Involved in innate immunity. May function in intracellular killing of bacteria. The soluble form triggers apoptosis in vitro.
Specificity
Natural and recombinant Mouse Peptidoglycan recognition protein 1
Subcellular Location
Cytoplasm Secreted Exists in both soluble and membrane-associated forms.
