Ett basalt enzym som förekommer i saliv, tårvätska, äggvita och många kroppsvätskor hos djur. Det har antibakteriell verkan. Enzymet katalyserar hydrolys av av 1,4-betabindningar mellan N-acetylmuraminsyra och N-acetyl D-glukosaminrester i peptidglykan och mellan N-acetyl D-glukosaminrester i chitodextrin. EC 3.2.1.17.
A basic enzyme that is present in saliva, tears, egg white, and many animal fluids. It functions as an antibacterial agent. The enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of 1,4-beta-linkages between N-acetylmuramic acid and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues in peptidoglycan and between N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues in chitodextrin. EC 3.2.1.17.
