Description
Description: This gene encodes a member of the C-type lysozyme/alpha-lactalbumin family. C-type lysozymes are bacteriolytic factors that play a role in host defense, whereas alpha-lactalbumins mediate lactose biosynthesis. The encoded protein contains catalytic residues characteristic of C-type lysozymes and may play a role in male reproduction. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2011]
Function: May be involved sperm-egg plasma membrane adhesion and fusion during fertilization (PubMed:28182716). Exhibits bacteriolytic activity in vitro against Micrococcus luteus and Staphylococcus aureus (PubMed:28182716, PubMed:24013621). Shows weak bacteriolytic activity against Gram-positive bacteria at physiological pH (PubMed:28182716). Bacteriolytic activity is pH-dependent, with a maximum at around pH 5.6 (PubMed:28182716).
Subunit Structure: Monomer.
Similarity: Belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 22 family
