Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

Function

Lysozymes have primarily a bacteriolytic function; those in tissues and body fluids are associated with the monocyte- macrophage system and enhance the activity of immunoagents. Lyz2 is active against a range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. More effective than Lyz1 in killing Gram-negative bacteria. Lyz1 and Lyz2 are equally effective in killing Gram- positive bacteria. {ECO:0000255PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00680, ECO:0000269PubMed:14977423}.

Subcellular Localization

Secreted.

Disease Associations

Tissue Specificity

Expressed weakly in myeloblasts, moderately in immature macrophages, and strongly in both mature macrophages and macrophage-rich tissues.
