Product Details
Lysozyme is a type of glycoside hydrolase enzyme. It occurs naturally in a variety of animal tissues and organs, as well as bodily secretions such as tears, nasal mucus, cervical fluid, and bird egg whites.
Its mechanism of action involves cleaving carbohydrate polymers within bacterial cell walls, leading to the loss of structural integrity and resulting in cell lysis.
