Protein
Peptidoglycan-recognition protein SC1b
Organism
Drosophila melanogaster
Function
N-acetylmuramyl-L-alanine amidase involved in innate immunity by degrading bacterial peptidoglycans (PGN) (PubMed:11106397, PubMed:12496260). Plays a scavenger role by digesting biologically active PGN into biologically inactive fragments (PubMed:12496260). Has no direct bacteriolytic activity (PubMed:12496260).
Similarity
Belongs to the N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine amidase 2 family.
