Protein
Peptidoglycan-recognition protein SB2
Organism
Drosophila melanogaster
Function
N-acetylmuramyl-L-alanine amidase involved in innate immunity by degrading bacterial peptidoglycans (PGN). Probably plays a scavenger role by digesting biologically active PGN into biologically inactive fragments. Has no direct bacteriolytic activity (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine amidase 2 family.
