“…PGRP-LCa, PGRP-LCx and PGRP-LCy, are generated by alternative splicing; they share common cytoplasmic and transmembrane domains. However, each variant of PGRP-LC has a separate extracellular PGRP domain (x, y or a), and the extracellular PGRP domains are only 39% identical (Choe et al, 2002;Kaneko et al, 2004;Werner et al, 2000Werner et al, , 2003. In mouse, TagL (PGRP-L) has six splicing variants (TagL-α, TagL-β, TagL-γ, TagL-δ, TagL-ε and TagL-μ), which are all identical in the N-terminal portion.…”
