Official Full Name: peptidoglycan recognition protein 3
Also known as: PGRPIA; PGRP-Ialpha; PGLYRPIalpha
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.
