epitope corresponding to amino acids 22-321 mapping near the N-terminus of PGRP-L of human origin
Modification Notes
Peptidoglycan recognition protein-L (PGRP-L) is a pattern recognition molecule consisting of 576 amino acid residues. It is the longest and most widely expressed member of the PGRP family. PGRP-L is a Zn2+-dependent protein with N-acetylmuramyl-L-alanine-amidase activity that digests peptidoglycan. PGRP-L can form a homodimer and may dimerize with other PGRP proteins. It is a secreted serum protein but is also expressed as a transmembrane protein in liver parenchymal cells binding peptidoglycan and Gram-positive bacteria. PGRP-L deficient mice exhibit slightly lower levels of IL-6 and TNFå but exhibit no obvious phenotypic abnormalities. This suggests that PGRP-L may play a minor role in innate immune functions. In addition, PGRP-L may be a key player in the activation of Nod1, an intracellular pattern recognition protein.
