Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

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, and has bacteriostatic activity towards Gram- negative bacteria. Plays a role in innate immunity (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.

Subcellular Localization

Secreted {ECO:0000250}.

Disease Associations

Tissue Specificity

Ubiquitous. {ECO:0000269PubMed:15177568}.
