Tree Number(s): D08.811.277.450.642
Unique ID: D009113
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D009113
Annotation: an anti-infective glycoside hydrolase
Scope Note: A basic enzyme that is present in saliva, tears, egg white, and many animal fluids. It functions as an antibacterial agent. The enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of 1,4-beta-linkages 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.
