InnateDB Annotation
Summary
PGLYRP4 is a secreted innate immunity protein that is expressed on body surfaces, mucous membranes, and in secretions (saliva, sweat) and is conserved from insects to mammals, it recognizes bacterial peptidoglycan, and functions in antibacterial immunity and inflammation.
PGLYRP4 is a member of the Peptidoglycan Recognition Proteins (PGRP) family and recognizes peptidoglycan, a structural component of bacterial cell walls, as a part of innate immune response against infections.
PGLYRP4 binds to Gram-positive bacterial wall and activates a protein-sensing two-component system to induce bacterial death. PLGYRP1-mediated activation results in membrane depolarization and cessation of peptidoglycan, protein, and RNA/DNA synthesis, as well as the production of hydroxyl radicals.
