Lysozyme from human neutrophils

Lysozymes, also known as muramidase or N-acetylmuramide glycanhydrolase, are glycoside hydrolases. These are enzymes (EC 3.2.1.17) that damage bacterial cell walls by catalyzing hydrolysis of 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. Lysozyme is abundant in a number of secretions, such as tears, saliva, human milk, and mucus. It is also present in cytoplasmic granules of the macrophages and the polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs). Large amounts of lysozyme can be found in egg white. C-type lysozymes are closely related to alpha-lactalbumin in sequence and structure, making them part of the same family. In humans, the lysozyme enzyme is encoded by the LYZ gene.

Main funcation:

Lysozyme is a kind of avirulent, without side effects of protein, but also has certain lysis, so can be used for medical, food preservative, feed, etc. Has been widely used in aquatic products, meat, cake, wine and rice wine and beverage of anticorrosive; Can also be added to the milk powder, milk humanized to restrain bowel the corruption in the survival of microorganisms, and at the same time, directly or indirectly.

Product application:

For biochemical research, clinical practice for the treatment of acute and chronic pharyngitis, lichen planus, flat warts and other diseases
