Product Description
Lysozyme is a component of the innate immune system generated in animals and has a bactericidal ( bacteria killing) activity.
Lysozyme (CAS: 9001-63-2) is a conserved antimicrobial enzyme, also known as muramidase, that is secreted by animals and contributes to the innate immune system. It is found in various body fluids, including tears, saliva, and mucus. It has a molecular weight of approximately 14.4 kDa and is most commonly derived from chicken egg white.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Lysozyme targets the bacterial cell wall, specifically the peptidoglycan layer. It exerts its bactericidal effect by hydrolyzing the β-1,4-glycosidic bonds between N-acetylmuramic acid and N-acetylglucosamine residues in the peptidoglycan, leading to bacterial cell lysis. This makes it effective against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
ln Vitro
In vitro, Lysozyme demonstrates broad-spectrum antibacterial activity. It is effective against both Gram-positive bacteria and Gram-negative bacteria. Its activity is typically measured by its ability to lyse Micrococcus luteus cells, which causes a decrease in the absorbance of the bacterial suspension. It is also effective against some viruses.
ln Vivo
In vivo, Lysozyme plays an important role in limiting bacterial growth on mucosal surfaces and other sites, controlling potential pathogens, and preventing dysbiosis by regulating the microbiota. It is a key component of the innate immune system and is also used as a food preservative and in pharmaceutical formulations.
Enzyme Assay
The in vitro enzyme activity assay for Lysozyme involves incubating the enzyme with a suspension of Micrococcus luteus cells in a suitable buffer. The rate of cell lysis is measured by monitoring the decrease in absorbance at 450 nm over time. One unit of lysozyme activity is defined as the amount of enzyme that causes a decrease in absorbance of 0.001 per minute at pH 6.24 and 25°C.
Cell Assay
In vitro cell culture studies are not typically performed with Lysozyme, as it is an antimicrobial enzyme. However, its effects on bacterial cells can be studied in co-culture systems. It can be used to prevent bacterial contamination in cell culture media. Its immunomodulatory effects can be studied by treating immune cells with the enzyme and measuring cytokine production.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal experiments for Lysozyme are not common. However, its role in the immune system can be studied in animal models of infection. Its efficacy as a food preservative can be assessed in animal feed studies. Its safety and efficacy as a pharmaceutical ingredient can be tested in animal models of oral mucositis.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Lysozyme is a protein with a molecular weight of approximately 14.4 kDa. It is typically supplied as a lyophilized powder or in aqueous solution. It is soluble in water and is stable at room temperature for short periods but is best stored at 4°C or -20°C for long-term stability. Its activity is optimal at pH 6.0-7.0.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for Lysozyme indicate that it is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for use in food. It is non-toxic and well-tolerated. It is not intended for human therapeutic use as a drug, although it is used as a food preservative and in some pharmaceutical formulations. Standard laboratory safety precautions should be followed.
Additional Infomation
Lysozyme is a soluble protein immunogen used as a model antigen in laboratory studies of antibody-antigen binding and B-cell and T-cell responses. (NCI04) Lysozyme is an alkaline enzyme found in saliva, tears, egg white, and many animal body fluids. It has antibacterial activity. This enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of 1,4-β-glycosidic bonds between N-acetylmuramic acid and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues in peptidoglycan and between N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues in chitodextrin. EC 3.2.1.17.
Lysozyme is widely used as a food preservative to prevent the growth of bacteria, particularly in cheese and wine. It is also used as a research reagent to study bacterial cell walls and the immune system. It is not approved as a therapeutic drug in most countries, although it is used in some over-the-counter products for the treatment of oral mucositis and as a component of some eye drops.
