Product Name: Lysozyme
CAS No.: 12650-88-3
EINECS: 235-747-3
Description:
Lysozyme is a collective term for a group of enzymes that are also known as glycoside hydrolases. Additional names for these enzymes include N-acetylmuramide glycanhydrolase and muramidase. The primary biochemical function of lysozyme is to split the bond between N-acetyl-D-glucosamine and N-acetylmuramic acid. Many species of bacteria have these bonds in their cell walls, providing lysozyme with antibacterial properties.
Lysozyme has many applications in both foods and dietary supplements. Hen egg whites are the primary commercial source of lysozyme. Egg whites are also the most abundant dietary source of lysozyme, which comprises about 0.5 percent of the albumin in egg whites.
