Summary
Pglyrp3 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.
Pglyrp3 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. (Demonstrated in human)
Pglyrp3, when stimulated with peptidoglycan, has an anti-inflammatory effect on intestinal epithelial cells. PGLYRP3 knocking down enhanced the expression of PGN-induced inflammatory cytokines. (Demonstrated in human)
InnateDB Annotation from Orthologs
Summary
[Homo sapiens] PGLYRP3 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.

Entrez Gene
Summary This gene does not have any Entrez summary - the following is the summary from its human ortholog ENSG00000159527:
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 protein binds to murein peptidoglycans of Gram-positive bacteria.
