Gene: LYG2

Alternate names for this Gene: LYGA2|LYGH|LYSG2

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene contains a SLT domain, a protein domain present in bacterial lytic transglycosylase (SLT) and in eukaryotic lysozymes (GEWL). SLT domain catalyzes the cleavage of the beta-1,4-glycosidic bond between N-acetylmuramic acid (MurNAc) and N-acetyglucosamine (GlcNAc).

Gene is located in Chromosome: 2

Location in Chromosome : 2q11.2

Description of this Gene: lysozyme g2

Type of Gene: protein-coding
