Description
Product Characteristics: The kit is a sandwich enzyme immunoassay for in vitro quantitative measurement of lysozyme in gallus serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell lysates, cell culture supernates.
Target Information: This gene encodes human lysozyme, whose natural substrate is the bacterial cell wall peptidoglycan (cleaving the beta[1-4]glycosidic linkages between N-acetylmuramic acid and N-acetylglucosamine). Lysozyme is one of the anti-microbial agents found in human milk, and is also present in spleen, lung, kidney, white blood cells, plasma, saliva, and tears. Missense mutations in LYZ have been identified in heritable renal amyloidosis. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
