Gene: PGLYRP2

Alternate names for this Gene: HMFT0141|PGLYRPL|PGRP-L|PGRPL|TAGL-like|tagL|tagL-alpha|tagl-beta

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.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 19

Location in Chromosome : 19p13.12

Description of this Gene: peptidoglycan recognition protein 2

Type of Gene: protein-coding
