Lysozyme G-Like Protein 2 (LYG2) is a secreted protein that belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 23 family. LYG2 contains one SLT domain, one 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). LYG2 has hydrolase activity which acting on glycosyl bonds, and possess lysozyme activity.
