UniProtKB description: Peptidoglycan-recognition protein that plays a key role in innate immunity by binding to peptidoglycans (PGN) of Gram-positive bacteria and activating the Toll pathway upstream of spz activating enzyme SPE (PubMed:11106397, PubMed:15448690, PubMed:16399077). Has no activity against Gram-negative bacteria and fungi (PubMed:11742401). Shows some partial redundancy with PRPGP-SD in Gram-positive bacteria recognition (PubMed:11742401, PubMed:15448690). May act by forming a complex with GNBP1 that activates the proteolytic cleavage of Spatzle and the subsequent activation of Toll pathway (PubMed:11742401, PubMed:14684822, PubMed:14722090). Binds to diaminopimelic acid-type tetrapeptide PGN (DAP-type PGN) and lysine-type PGN (Lys-type PGN) (PubMed:15361936). Has some L,D-carboxypeptidase activity for DAP-type PGN, which are specific to prokaryotes, but not for Lys-type PGN (PubMed:15361936).
