Description | PGRP-S (peptidoglycan recognition protein short, also known as peptidoglycan recognition protein 1) is a innate immunity pattern recognition protein conserved from insects to mammals, recognising bacterial cell wall peptidoglycan and activates two antimicrobial defense systems, prophenoloxidase cascade and antimicrobial peptides through Toll receptor [ ].Peptidoglycan recognition proteins (PGRPs) are part of the host's innate immune system. In mammals, only four types of PGRPs, long PGRPs, intermediate PGRPs and short PGRPs have so far been identified []. | Name | Peptidoglycan recognition protein, PGRP-S |
