Enables several functions, including (1->3)-beta-D-glucan binding activity; lipopolysaccharide binding activity; and peptidoglycan binding activity. Involved in several processes, including Toll receptor ligand protein activation cascade; defense response to Gram-positive bacterium; and peptidoglycan catabolic process. Located in extracellular space and plasma membrane.
FB Description
Gram-negative bacteria binding protein 1 (GNBP1) encodes a hemolymphatic protein that participates together with the product of PGRP-SA in the activation of the Toll pathway by peptidoglycans, a cell-wall component of bacteria.
