| Primary Identifier | MGI:1928099 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 17 | NCBI Gene Number | 57757 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Predicted to enable N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine amidase activity; peptidoglycan binding activity; and peptidoglycan immune receptor activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of natural killer cell differentiation involved in immune response; negative regulation of type II interferon production; and regulation of inflammatory response. Predicted to be located in extracellular region and membrane. Is expressed in hemolymphoid system and thymus primordium. Orthologous to human PGLYRP2 (peptidoglycan recognition protein 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruption of this gene are viable and fertile with no gross developmental defects. Mice homozygous for a different knock-out allele are resistant to peptidoglycan- or muramyl dipeptide-induced arthritis and increased susceptibility to DSS-induced colitis.
