InnateDB Annotation
Summary
PGLYRP2 is a secreted innate immunity protein that is expressed in the liver and is conserved from insects to mammals, it recognizes bacterial peptidoglycan, and functions in antibacterial immunity and inflammation.
PGLYRP2 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.

Entrez Gene
Summary This gene encodes a peptidoglycan recognition protein, which belongs to the N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine amidase 2 family. This protein hydrolyzes the link between N-acetylmuramoyl residues and L-amino acid residues in bacterial cell wall glycopeptides, and thus may play a scavenger role by digesting biologically active peptidoglycan into biologically inactive fragments.
