RT   line from Estigmene acraea (Lepidoptera).";
RL   Dev. Comp. Immunol. 21:323-336(1997).
CC   -!- FUNCTION: Lysozymes have primarily a bacteriolytic function; those in
CC       tissues and body fluids are associated with the monocyte-macrophage
CC       system and enhance the activity of immunoagents. {ECO:0000250}.
CC   -!- CATALYTIC ACTIVITY:
CC       Reaction=Hydrolysis of (1->4)-beta-linkages between N-acetylmuramic
CC         acid and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues in a peptidoglycan and
CC         between N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues in chitodextrins.;
CC         EC=3.2.1.17;
CC   -!- ACTIVITY REGULATION: By lipopolysaccharide (LPS).
CC       {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9303271}.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 22 family. {ECO:0000305}.
