Gene: PGLYRP4

Alternate names for this Gene: PGLYRPIbeta|PGRP-Ibeta|PGRPIB|SBBI67

Gene Summary: 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 antimicrobial protein binds to murein peptidoglycans of Gram-positive bacteria.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 1

Location in Chromosome : 1q21.3

Description of this Gene: peptidoglycan recognition protein 4

Type of Gene: protein-coding
