PGRP-Iβ Antibody (4H229) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody that detects PGRP-Iβ in mouse, rat, human, and porcine samples through western blotting (WB). PGRP-Iβ is a crucial member of the peptidoglycan recognition protein family, which plays a significant role in the immune response by recognizing peptidoglycan, a vital component of bacterial cell walls. PGRP-Iβ is primarily expressed in the esophagus, with lesser expression in the tonsils and thymus, highlighting its importance in mucosal immunity. PGRP-Iβ functions as a transmembrane protein consisting of 373 amino acids and features at least three highly conserved C-terminal PGRP domains, which are essential for interaction with bacterial components. Unlike PGRP-L, PGRP-Iβ does not exhibit amidase activity but is instrumental in binding to peptidoglycan and Gram-positive bacteria, thereby facilitating the activation of immune pathways. PGRP-Iβ recognition and binding to bacterial components is vital for initiating antimicrobial responses, making PGRP-Iβ an important target for studies related to immune function and bacterial infections. Anti-PGRP-Iβ antibody (4H229) is an invaluable tool for researchers investigating the mechanisms of immune recognition and response in various species.
