wPGRP protein is a peptidoglycan recognition protein (see: PGRP) from the weevil Sitophilus zeamais. It is an ortholog of Drosophila PGRP-LB. wPGRP expression is induced by Gram-negative bacteria. A high steady-state level expression is seen in the bacteria-bearing organ (the bacteriome) of larvae and a high level of wPGRP upregulation is observed in the symbiotic nymphal phase.
