Studies have shown that the peptidoglycan in eukaryotes is essential for their cell division and tumor cell formation.
Commonly, peptidoglycan (PG) is the component of the cell wall of prokaryotes, especially bacteria.
Recent discovery of endogenous synthesis of peptidoglycan in eukaryotes stated that the amount of PG difference between animals and bacteria becomes quantitative and no longer qualitative.
Some propose that bacterial surface components, whose synthesis is encoded in genes inherited by the eukaryotes from the ancestors of the organelles, may play a role in inter and intracellular communication.
This is the reason that PG synthesis can be correlated to two of the most fundamental processes in higher organisms, i.e. cell division, Aging and tumor formation.
