lysozyme G-like 2

Symbol

LYG2 (may also be known as: None)

Organism

Human

Description

The protein encoded by this gene contains a SLT domain, a protein domain present in bacterial lytic transglycosylase (SLT) and in eukaryotic lysozymes (GEWL). SLT domain catalyzes the cleavage of the beta-1,4-glycosidic bond between N-acetylmuramic acid (MurNAc) and N-acetyglucosamine (GlcNAc). [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
