Descriptor muramidasa
Entry term(s) lisozima
Scope note: Enzima básica que está presente en la saliva, las lágrimas, la clara de huevo y muchos líquidos animales. Tiene actividad antibacteriana. Esta enzima cataliza la hidrólisis de enlaces 1,4-beta entre los residuos de ácido N-acetilmurámico y la N-acetil-D-glucosamina en peptidoglicanos y entre residuos de N-acetil-D-glucosamina en la quitodextrina. EC 3.2.1.17.
