Predicted to enable N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine amidase activity. Predicted to be involved in peptidoglycan catabolic process. Located in extracellular region.
FB Description
Peptidoglycan recognition protein SB2 (PGRP-SB2) encodes a secreted peptidoglycan recognition protein (PGRP) with amidase activity against DAP-type peptidoglycan, a cell wall component found on Gram-negative bacteria and certain Gram positive bacteria. It is strongly induced upon bacterial infection by the immune deficiency pathway, suggesting a role as an immune effector.
