Lysozyme C - CISMeF

Preferred Label : Lysozyme C;

NCIt synonyms : LYZ; 1,4-Beta-N-Acetylmuramidase C; EC 3.2.1.17; C-Type Lysozyme; Lysozyme F1;

NCIt definition : Lysozyme C (148 aa, 17 kDa) is encoded by the human LYZ gene. This protein is involved in the proteolytic degradation of bacterial peptidoglycans.;

NCIt note : Lysozyme C can hydrolyze (1- 4)-beta-linkages between N-acetylmuramic acid and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues in a peptidoglycan and between N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues in chitodextrins. (UniProt);
