Description

Lysozyme (LYZ) is a low molecular weight alkaline enzyme capable of hydrolyzing the peptidoglycan in pathogenic bacteria. It is an integral part of the body’s immune defense mechanism and is named for its ability to dissolve bacterial cell walls. As a glycoside hydrolase, lysozyme primarily works by breaking the β-1,4 glycosidic bonds between N-acetylmuramic acid and N-acetylglucosamine in the cell wall, leading to the degradation of insoluble polysaccharides into soluble glycopeptides. This results in the rupture of the cell wall and the release of its contents, ultimately causing bacterial lysis. In the human body, lysozyme is found in neutrophils, monocytes, and macrophages, as well as in mucosal secretions, making it one of the body’s surface defense factors.

OsrhLYZ is produced using recombinant gene technology, expressed in rice endosperm cells, and purified through protein extraction processes.
