OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a peptidoglycan recognition protein, which belongs to the N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine amidase 2 family. These proteins are part of the innate immune system and recognize peptidoglycan, a ubiquitous component of bacterial cell walls. This antimicrobial protein binds to murein peptidoglycans of Gram-positive bacteria. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2014]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads PGLYRP3 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against PGLYRP3 could matter depends on whether native PGLYRP3 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

PGLYRP3 is annotated as secreted, so native PGLYRP3 circulates and is directly accessible to antibodies. Secreted and cell-surface proteins are the autoantibody targets most likely to act like drugs, blocking or depleting the native protein.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label PGLYRP3 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
