Specifications
Target Information
Porcine lysozyme (pLys), also known as egg-white lysozyme, is an enzyme with lytic properties that is found in various tissues and secretions of pigs, including tears, saliva, and milk. pLys plays a crucial role in the innate immune system, as it is capable of breaking down the peptidoglycan cell walls of bacteria, leading to their lysis and subsequent death. This enzyme is particularly effective against gram-positive bacteria and is part of the body's first line of defense against infection. In pigs, pLys contributes to the maintenance of health by providing a natural antimicrobial barrier in mucosal surfaces and secretions.
