Summary: Enables lysozyme activity. Involved in defense response to Gram-negative bacterium and defense response to Gram-positive bacterium. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including Golgi cis cisterna; cytoplasmic vesicle; and rough endoplasmic reticulum lumen. Is expressed in several structures, including hematopoietic system; liver; mesothelium; small intestine; and yolk sac. Orthologous to human LYZ (lysozyme).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
