Lysozyme Human

EC 3.2.1.17, LYZ, Lysozyme.

Lysozymeis an antimicrobial enzyme produced by animals that are part of the innate immune system. Lysozyme is a glycoside hydrolase that catalyzes the hydrolysis of 1,4-beta-linkages between N-acetylmuramic acid and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues in peptidoglycan, which is the major component of gram-positive bacterial cell wall.Lysozymes have primarily a bacteriolytic function - those in tissues and body fluids are associated with the monocyte-macrophage system and enhance the activity of immunoagents.

Recombinant Human Lysozyme produced in Plant is a non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 130 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 14.7kDa. The Recombinant Human Lysozyme is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Oryza sativa (rice).

Sterile Filtered lyophilized (freeze-dried) off white powder.

The protein (1mg/ml) was lyophilized with no additives.

Stock solutions can be prepared by dissolving gently into PBS for several minutes. Recommended stock concentrations are 1mg/ml in PBS.

Store the lyophilized Lysozyme between 2-8°C, do not freeze.

Upon reconstitution Lysozyme should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.

Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
