UniProt code: P14677.

Organism: Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 4 (strain ATCC BAA-334 / TIGR4).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Firmicutes; Bacilli; Lactobacillales; Streptococcaceae; Streptococcus.
 
Function: Penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) function in the late steps of murein biosynthesis. Beta-lactams inactivate the PBPs by acylating an essential serine residue in the active site of these proteins.
 
Subcellular location: Cell membrane; Single-pass membrane protein.
Miscellaneous: The mature form of PBP2x contains an unprocessed signal sequence followed by a membrane-anchoring segment.
Similarity: Belongs to the transpeptidase family. {ECO:0000305}.
