| - | + | This protein has primarily a bacteriolytic function. The lysozymes in tissues and body fluids can be commonly associated with the monocyte-macrophage system and they can also enhance the activity of the immunoagents. Lysozyme C has the capability to perform both hydrolysis and transglycosylation. It also shows a little bit of esterase activity. Lysozyme C can act rapidly on both peptide-substituted and unsubstituted peptidoglycan, but it acts slowly on chitin oligosaccharides. This protein has some catalytic activity too. There is hydrolysis of 1->4-beta-linkages between N-acetylmuramic acid and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine leaves a residue in a peptidoglycan and between N-acetyl-D-glucosamine has a residue in chitodextrins. | |
