Invertebrate-type lysozyme

InterPro entry
Short nameInvert_lysozyme

Description

This is a family of invertebrate-type lysozymes
[2]
. It includes Destabilase (
3.5.1.44
), an endo-epsilon(gamma-Glu)-Lys isopeptidase, which cleaves isopeptide bonds formed by transglutaminase (Factor XIIIa) between glutamine gamma-carboxamide and the ε-amino group of lysine
[1]
.
