Description
Description: PGLYRP1 Human Recombinant produced in E Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain (a.a 22-196) containing 185 amino acids including a 10 a.a N-terminal His tag. The total molecular mass is 20.68kDa (calculated).
Introduction: Peptidoglycan Recognition Protein 1 (PGLYRP1) is a member of the N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine amidase 2 family. PGLYRP1 binds to peptidoglycan of bacteria and affects the peptidoglycan biosynthesis. PGLYRP1 displays bactericidal activity towards Gram-positive bacteria and is bacteriostatic towards Gram-negative bacteria. PGLYRP1 has a role in innate immunity. PGLYRP1 is highly expressed in the bone marrow, and weakly expressed in the kidney, liver, small intestine, spleen, thymus, peripheral leukocyte, lung, fetal spleen and neutrophils
