Identification and Characterization of LYSMD3, A Novel Epithelial Cell Pattern Recognition Receptor for Chitin

LysM-domain containing (LysMD) proteins are widespread in nature and associated with host-pathogen interactions, often-binding peptidoglycan and chitin. However, the functions of mammalian LysMD proteins have not been fully defined. Chitin, a major component of fungal cell walls, has been associated...
